Q:
I am unable to access
certain groups via the web to news gateway, why?
A: As it is stated in our
disclaimer,
some groups are only accessible via a newsreader. The reason for this is due to a legal
issues in regards of providing a way to decode any images that some one else posted. If
you do encounter any questionable material that somebody, posted please let us know so
that we may remove the offending article.

Q:
Some newsgroups seems to be expiring very quickly, why?
A: The
rate of article expiration will vary by group and will depend on the amount and size of
new articles coming in. This is especially true for binaries groups. We do not set limits
on retention time, the only limitation is the amount of disk space available.

Q: Why are there articles missing
in the binaries newsgroups?
A: This can happen for several reasons. The most
likely is that some of the articles (or parts of articles) were filtered out as spam
before they reached our servers. We do not filter any incoming articles on our binaries
servers, everything we receive from our upstream is posted. Many news servers limit the
maximum article size and if any articles are in excess of that size the server will cancel
it automatically and it will not propagate out. Also, all news servers have the right to
filter out anything that passes through their server. Keep in mind that
Usenet was
designed to carry only plain text, not large binary files. Processing binary articles
places twice as much strain on the server as plain text articles do. For these reasons no
guarantee regarding completeness of binary articles is expressed or implied by
centralnewsfeed.com.

Q: Some articles that I post from
centralnewsfeed.com do not seem to propagate to other news servers, why?
A: Another news server may be canceling them . We
can take no further responsibility for articles not propagating once they have been sent
to our upstream servers. Another reason could be if you have a record of abuse on our
servers your posting access may have been disabled. Once your posting access has been
disabled due to posting abuse it will never be restored, so don't even ask. Nor will we
issue refunds for this reason.

Q:
I'm getting an AUTHENTICATION FAILED message
A:
First, check that you entered the correct username and password. If
you forgot your username and/or password, email
webmaster@centralnewsfeed.com
about
your problem and we shall resend your username and password to your registered email.
Unfortunately, we cannot send this info to a different email because there is no
way for us to authenticate your request.
If you are sure about your username and password, then the error
may be because your account exceeded the allowed number of simultaneous logins.
Also, some Usenet browsers do not disconnect cleanly, in which case you may have to wait a
few minutes before your account is cleared.
Q: What are the daily limits
for posting?
A: There are currently no limits for
posting.
