CHARTERS (Keith)

rec.sport.pro-wrestling.fantasy

Rec.sport.pro-wrestling.fantasy will be for the discussion of fantasy pro
wrestling leagues, and the posting of announcements, cards, rules, etc, of
new and/or existing leagues.  It is for use by e-wrestling leagues and also
for use by groups currently posting to rec.sport.pro-wrestling proper, namely
the RSPCW.  It will be unmoderated.  As well, one convention currently in
trial stages on rspw proper should be used in subject headers:  namely
placing the federation in question in square brackets before the actual
subject (eg [CWF], [UeWF], [RSPCW], etc.)  While this is not a required
part of the newsgroup, it makes life easier on those reading it.  The
group will be used to post results of e-wrestling cards, upcoming cards,
interviews from wrestlers, rankings, or whatever else is part of the
periodic mailing package of the e-federation.

I feel the group is necessary because not only are there many PBeM
wrestling leagues out there, but the regular posters on rec.games.pbm
feel that they have no place in that newsgroup.  As well, regular posters to
rec.sport.pro-wrestling feel that the RSPCW has no place in that
newsgroup.  With the new group, followers of fantasy wrestling will be
free to discuss the various leagues, as well as announce new ones, plus post
results of their shows.  The amount of e-wrestling leagues would by
themselves seem to justify a newsgroup, and the recent debate over the RSPWF
and the RSPCW, IMO, make it a necessity.

rec.sport.pro-wrestling.info

This is a moderated newsgroup.  It is solely for the purpose of
posting information about the world of professional wrestling.  This
includes the r.s.p.w FAQ, the wrestling relations list, the "Welcome
to rec.sport.pro-wrestling" file, Herb Kunze's Tidbits, Oliver
Postlethwaite's Hotline report, Chris Zimmerman's RAW reports, the
weekly summaries of WWF syndicated programs, the summaries of WCW
programming on TBS, substantiated gossip (eg from the Observer
newsletter), summaries (with NO match ratings) of PPV programming,
results from house shows, the summaries of the weekly ECW and USWA
shows, plus whatever other wrestling programming people may be
interested in, news items, and of course a periodic posting >From the
moderator.

The group is NOT a forum for discussion of wrestling, a place to rate
matches on a given card, a place to post trivia, a place to ask
questions, a place to answer questions, a place to state an opinion of
a show, event, item, happening, or rumor.  It is not a place to
announce an upcoming show -- that is what rec.sport.pro-wrestling is
for.  In short, it is simply a newsgroup for the reader who wishes to
simply "read the news" in the world of professional wrestling and move
on.  All followups will be directed to rec.sport.pro-wrestling proper.

The group will be moderated by Pete Barlow (pmbarlow@miavx1.acs.muohio.edu).

I feel very strongly that this group should pass for several reasons.
The most important one is the fact that I want a group where I can get
the latest information without having to kill all the flamewars,
followups, questions, trivia with wrong answers, newbie posts,
arguments, speculation and general noise.  I just want to know what's
happening right away, then read the reaction from the net if need be
later on.  It will also save money for the numerous people who
download the messages every day, and no longer have to download 150
noise messages to read the 10 or 20 informative messages.  And also
because clarinet doesn't supply a wrestling group, one needs to be
created to serve the same purpose.
