CHARTER
(Editor's note: Bear in mind that the charter was written in 1997)
RATIONALE
alt.binaries.pictures.joanne-guest is a group for the posting of
binary images related to the UK model Joanne Guest.
Joanne Guest is the hottest individual of that type of English model
known as the "glamour girl" - a group generally best known for their
topless work in Britain's tabloid newspapers, appearances at pubs,
various singing aspirations, and being caught out on the town
canoodling with married footballers, politicians, ambassadors, and
each other.
Jo has a more professional approach than your typical "glamour girl"
and has recently diversified her career into TV - making appearances
on Celebrity quiz shows and pop music videos. She has also crossed
over into the mainstream print media with appearances in Loaded and
FHM magazines in the UK.
The creation of this group is supported by numerous parties and has
arisen from intense interest from participants in existing binary
groups - in particular alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.blondes.
SCOPE
The group will be unmoderated and any binary posting related to Joanne
Guest is considered on-topic.
Any other binaries or discussions are considered to be off-topic.
POSTING GUIDELINES
(with additional notes and explanatory text)
What can you post?
- Pictures, sound samples, video clips etc. of Joanne Guest.
- Transcripts of interviews, sightings, gossip etc. about Jo.
- Any questions you may have about Jo
(but please read the FAQ first).
If posting binaries:
- No Flooding - a suggested posting limit is 250 pictures per
day. If posting video clips, limit yourself to 50MB per day.
Many ISPs impose bandwidth caps on their DSL customers: these can
be as low as 1GB/month. 50MB/day multiplies up to 1.5GB/month.
- Try to use meaningful filenames for the pictures.
See the FAQ for details.
Indicate the picture's source (magazine issue etc.) if at all possible.
- Please, please, mention the filename in the message title!
It can be extremely annoying to download a picture (or even an entire
series of pictures) only to discover it was one that you already had.
And while we're at it, avoid long and rambling message titles.
Anyone saying "But the title fits on one line when viewed on my
56-inch monitor" will be treated to the derision he deserves.
- If you think a picture may be a fake, PLEASE SAY SO when posting.
Some people don't like fakes; other people actively pursue fakes.
You'd be doing both groups a service by mentioning if a picture is fake.
- When posting large files, consider splitting them into
smaller parts.
A suggested part size is 250kB (for example, a 9MB video clip
might be split into 40 equally-sized parts). If your news posting
program can't split large messages into several parts, consider using
a program such as WinRAR to split
the file before posting.
What other restrictions are there?
- DON'T post any pictures (etc.) of other models/celebrities.
If Jo isn't in the picture, it's of no interest to us.
- DON'T ask for pictures (etc.) of other models/celebrities.
- DON'T cross-post messages.
Remember that the vast majority of cross-posted messages are spam:
many users actively avoid cross-posted messages for this very reason.
If you cross-post your message, a significant number of users won't
bother to look at it.
- DON'T post any commercial advertising whatsoever.
People will only complain as if it were spam.
- Last but not least: NO SPAMMING!
