<p>Moderator Found announcement for comp.binaries.cbm</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&lt;pre&gt;From: Big-8 Management Board &lt;board@big-8.org&gt;<br /> Newsgroups: news.announce.newgroups,news.groups.proposals<br /> Subject: MODERATOR FOUND: comp.binaries.cbm<br /> Followup-To: news.groups.proposals<br /> Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2026 11:31:31 EDT<br /> Message-ID: &lt;MPG.448a5908d189d34598970e@news.eternal-september.org&gt;<br /> Archive-Name: comp.binaries.cbm<br /> <br /> REPLACEMENT MODERATOR FOUND<br /> comp.binaries.cbm<br /> <br /> The Big-8 Management Board is pleased to announce that Six of DLOC has<br /> volunteered to take on moderation duties for comp.binaries.cbm. The<br /> group is now open for submissions.<br /> <br /> Note to news server administrators: unlike other groups in the Big 8, <br /> comp.binaries.cbm is intended for posting binary files. It is a <br /> low-traffic, moderated newsgroup carrying binaries for 8-bit Commodore <br /> computers, so it is not likely to take up much disk space or bandwidth, <br /> and distribution of copyrighted software is prohibited by the group&#039;s <br /> charter. If you are doing anything to filter out binaries in the Big 8, <br /> you may therefore want to make an exception for this group. <br /> <br /> This announcement has not been crossposted to comp.binaries.cbm, as the <br /> group&#039;s FAQ prohibits crossposts. However, a copy has been submitted to <br /> the group separately.<br /> <br /> <br /> MODERATOR INFO: comp.binaries.cbm<br /> <br /> Moderator: Six of DLOC<br /> Article submission address: &lt;binaries@commodoresixtyfour.com&gt;<br /> Moderation contact: &lt;moderation@commodoresixtyfour.com&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> CHARTER AND MODERATION POLICY FOR COMP.BINARIES.CBM:<br /> <br /> The newsgroup is for the purpose of swapping 8bit Comodore [sic] Binaries,<br /> mainly mainly for the 64 and 128 computers. The moderator will attempt to<br /> filter out copyrighted software, and insure that the programs work,<br /> although it is impossible to verify all software for all systems.<br /> <br /> Further details about the group and its submission guidelines are <br /> available at: http://www.floodgap.com/comp.binaries.cbm/faq.txt<br /> <br /> <br /> DISTRIBUTION<br /> <br /> news.announce.newgroups<br /> news.groups.proposals<br /> comp.binaries.cbm<br /> <br /> <br /> CHANGE HISTORY<br /> <br /> 2026-06-03 Announcement<br /> <br /> -- <br /> Usenet Big-8 Management Board<br /> https://www.big-8.org/<br /> board@big-8.org&lt;/pre&gt;</div>
