PING: Jim Logajan

Jim, I saw your post over in supernews.support about not seeing
posts from superfeed. Point blank, Supernews actively blocks all
messages from newsfeeds and it's affiliates, which includes
superfeed. Also, they will not answer your question.

Do a search in supernews.support and supernews.general for my
posts. You'll see I've gone 'round and 'round on this issue.
You'll find the reaction from non-supernews employees in those
groups is quite hostile on the subject, and supernews is totally
quiet.

Oh, and there was some brief discussion about it in this group
as well.

I hope you aren't paying for their (lack of) service.

Apologies to the group for the OT.

Brian

Yes, I remember your posts on the subject. You were treated rather roughly
and unfairly, IMHO.

Yup - and I said I would contact them directly myself at the time - but
other things came up and I never got around to it. :-(

Actually I do pay directly for their service. I help co-moderate several
moderated newsgroups and needed a provider I could complain to without
running into the problems you clearly ran into.

I'll just have to send the question directly to them via their support e-
mail since they haven't posted any reply yet.

I'd be most interested knowing their reply if you get one. I
never did. I get Supersucks through my ISP for 'free' so I
had them ask. They did get a reply, but it was basically
just blowing them off.

Again, apologies to the rest of the group. It just happens that
of all the groups I read, R.A.P. is the most seriously affected
by this problem by far.

Well, so far I haven't seen a response to my post or my e-mail to them.

I suppose I could point out that if they are filtering posts, they are
probably violating their own contract, which in clause 7 states "You
understand that we are providing you with unfiltered access to Usenet.":

Oh really?!?!? They do in fact filter messages and have admitted
to doing so in their support groups. For example, they have had
a filter on all GoogleNews posts that are crossposted to more
than three groups. "Andrew" in the support newsgroup explained
it all to me when I had complained about not seeing google
messages. They also filter for spam and other abuses of usenet
based on complaints they receive. That is most definately not
"unfiltered access".
