CFV: rec.sport.pro-wrestling.{fantasy,info} From: rdippold@qualcomm.com (Ron "Asbestos" Dippold) Date: Fri, 20 May 1994 18:47:32 +0000 FIRST CALL FOR VOTES (of 2) unmoderated group rec.sport.pro-wrestling.fantasy moderated group rec.sport.pro-wrestling.info Newsgroups line: rec.sport.pro-wrestling.fantasy Fantasy & E-wrestling posts and discussion. rec.sport.pro-wrestling.info Information-only wrestling group (moderated). Votes must be received by 23:59:59 UTC, 10 June 1994. This vote is being conducted by a neutral third party. For voting questions only contact rdippold@qualcomm.com. For questions about the proposed group contact Keith Scott Alan <keith@amisk.cs.ualberta.ca> 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.
