17 What happens if I post something I shouldn't? (Alt.Tv.Xena)


You may get flamed. But in general people at ATX are friendly
people. However, you are bound to catch someone who is having a
bad day.

But if you post the pyramid scheme, people may complain to your
ISP, even if you try to fake your account, and you may lose your
account for that reason (but that's between you and your
provider).

Some unscrupulous people may mail-bomb you by sending your
article right back at you 1000 or 10,000 times. Or they may
subscribe you to many mailing lists, rendering your account
unusable. THESE ARE NOT PROPER RESPONSES TO USENET ABUSE, but
they can happen and we cannot prevent people from declaring war
on you.

If you've read this far into the FAQ and you post one of the
above articles anyway, you're on your own and you'll get no
sympathy from the rest of us.
