I have inserted a filter in the newsserver which helps Scott remember not to
post auction updates to groups like .market.buy-sell-trade and .build.
Unfortunately, the filter is rather broad -- it prevents Scott from posting
anything to those two groups.  However, Scott -was- reminded two weeks ago
that auction updates are not permitted in non-auction groups, and he -was-
also warned that repeated violations would result in suspension of posting
privileges.

Here is what Scott posted two weeks ago, followed by the reminder/warning:

Earlier today, Scott posted an auction update to lugnet.build, followed five
minutes later by an apology:

   http://www.lugnet.com/build/?n=2175
   (Wed, 18 Aug 1999 09:48:41 GMT)

The apology was followed one minute later by a second copy of the same
auction update (this time to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade), and that was
followed about an hour later with a second apology:

It is completely beyond me how someone could accidentally post an auction
update to two wrong groups in a row, especially with the second one
immediately following an apology for the first one (a clear admission of
understanding the rules).

If anyone feels that I am being too harsh, please let me know.

If anyone feels that I am being too lenient, please let me know.

I've only just discovered that these events were up for debate, and this explains why I have not contributed to this discussion to date. Can I just make 3 points.
