* YOUR MESSAGE HAS BEEN REJECTED AND HERE'S HOW TO FIX IT *
* PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE NOTICE BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE *
*************************************************************
Thank you for submitting your message to rec.boats.marketplace
(herein referred to as RBM). RBM is a moderated newsgroup. Its
purpose is to help boaters buy and sell boats and boating-related
products. Its purpose is not for discussing general boating questions.
Please use rec.boats, rec.boats.cruising, rec.boats.building and
alt.sailing for this purpose. You will find more receptive audiences
full of experts there.
All messages that are posted to this newsgroup are screened by an
automatic computer program called moderation bot. This program
ensures that all messages submitted here satisfy minimal posting
standards discussed below. The purpose of this standard is to ensure
that the newsgroup is useful for the readers, in particular that
the Subject: field of every message has a certain minimal amount
of useful information, so that the readers can scroll through the
message subjects instead of downloading every single message.
There are two types of messages that you can post:
1) Messages to buy or sell products. All such messages should have
Subjects that:
begin with a FS or WTB (abbreviations of For Sale and Wanted
To Buy)
contain some short description of what you want to buy
say " in " and describe location.
There are no restrictions on what may constitute a location or
product description. HOWEVER, if you want to write an attractive ad, be
concise and specific.
Examples:
Subject: FS: 1987 20ft Bayliner open bow in SW Florida
Subject: WTB: outboard parts in MI
Subject: FS Bayliner Ciera in Nova Scotia, Canada
Subject: FS: 1966 27ft Chris Craft in Rome, Italy, with some rot
Examples of BAD SUBJECT LINES that will be REJECTED:
Subject: FS: Used boat
Reason for rejection: location not specified
Subject: want to buy a 15HP outboard
Reason for rejection: No FS or WTB prefix, no location
Subject: WTB: A used searay cuddy around minwest
Reason for rejection: location not specified properly, " in "
not used
2) Administrative messages. All such messages MUST have a Subject:
line that begins with an ADMIN prefix.
Example:
Subject: ADMIN: I disagree with the moderator's policies
