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.

the daily limits for posting?
