Okay...Unless there's a complaint from anyone, we go with:
lugnet.org.au.legoz
Rule number 1) sale/auction postings for sales/auctions held in Aus are
allowed
Rule number 2) Sale/auction postings for sales/auctions only open to Aus/NZ
area allowed
Rule number 3) "I don't bring people back.." <sorry, too many times watching
the Disney version of Aladdin :) "
Rule number 3) Only posting of information relevent to Australians.
Rule number 4) For someone to be barred from posting to this group, 3 people
have to request it, along with an explanation of the reason(?)

Anyone think of anything else or want to modify the above ideas?

Richard is correct!  The no-auction rule (that is to say, no
auction spam
outside of .market.auction) is a LUGNET-wide rule -- it's
part of the very
basic core Agreement, in fact.  Getting together and agreeing
somehow agreeing
spontaneously that it would be "OK" in your local group
doesn't change the
fact that it would still be against the basic rules here.

On the other hand, if you guys/gals do now have an official
"club" or user
group for Australias, then let's go ahead and set up a
lugnet.org.au (or
lugnet.org.au.legoz or whatever you decide) and then you can
set rules and
guidelines for _that_ newsgroup because it would be a
community-created/grown
newsgroup set up to serve a specific target of people (i.e.,
your club).

Inside of your specific club newsgroup (also automatically a
mailing list),
you can specially tailor whatever rules you want, so long as
they don't
(obviously) do anything illegal or get LUGNET in trouble.
