=========Charter for alt.astrology.metapsych=========
Charter: This group is for astrologers and students and
critics of astrology or practicing therapists and
psychologists to discuss aspects of astrology primarily,
but not limited to, psychological/metaphysical/spiritual
approaches of counsel and practice. This includes;
1) Personal analysis of horoscopes based on full data
and information.
2) Psychological approaches and remediation methods
in counsel.
3) Psychological fields of approach.
4) Metaphysical and/or spiritual approaches and their
connections.
5) Humanistic, holistic or other modern or otherwise
defined as new age approaches.
6) The testability and validity of astrological and
psychological systems.
Since this group is proposed on the basis of ethical
and respectable service oriented counsel and
astrological application and discussion, the following
classes of posts are not welcome;
1) Advertisements of any sort.
2) JPEG's, GIF's, Animations, ASCII art, or other still
or motion based images.
3) Posting of notice of complaints of off-topicness simply
because of disagreement.
4) Those containing URL's to commercial websites.
5) Posts crossposted to more than five discussion groups.
6) Posts containing follow-ups set only to sender.
7) Posts containing follow-ups set only outside of this
newsgroup.
 Canned screeds or boilerplate copy cannot be posted
more than once every six months.
There are no restrictions regarding methods, systems,
criticisms, or philosophies regarding application techniques.
All astrological applications are welcome and/or services
employing such as a part of their service. Skeptical posts
and posts containing discussion of testing and validity of
astrological, psychological, and metaphysical methods are
welcome.
Only by discarding the unworkable and revising theories to
contain what "works" can science succeed. As astrology is an
art/science it must adhere to the rigors of the scientific
method. Innovative techniques and the integration of related
cross disciplines to the subject matter are also welcome.
Flame wars and disagreements are a natural consequence of
this type of combination of unmoderated, free-speech
protected electronic medium, and it is acknowleged that no
newsgroup will ever be completely flame-free. Flame wars
which spill over into private email, however, are
discouraged and alt.astrology.metapsych posters are
asked to use maturity and good judgement in these
matters.
Justification of Readership:
alt.astrology.metapsych already exists, but requires an
updated charter to correct a previous unworkable version.
Reason for submitting a modified charter:
The charter that was sent with the original control
message upon creation was unworkable and overly
restrictive, especially in light of its status as
an unmoderated alt newsgroup. The rules prevously in
place could only be policed by a moderator, and in
the abscence of an official moderator, soon became
onerous and unenforceable. Because there are many negative
and censorious persons ("wannabe moderators") who are
bigoted against free speech, and who abuse and corrupt the
charter by insisting that others follow it (and making
dramatic, false, and harmful complaints to service
providers), all while violating the charter themselves,
updating and modifying the language of this charter
was necessary. The resultant changes provide for a freer,
more mature, and balanced forum of discussion, and still
restrict the topic while maintaining a more workable,
enforceable, and less easily misused and corrupted set
of rules. Indeed, periodic updating of the charter is
seen as a healthy way to grow a vibrant, relevant, and
usable newsgroup. This updated charter supersedes
the original and has the blessings of usenet news and
policy administrators and experts and is made official
by announcement in the appropriate control, bulletin,
and config groups and storage at ftp.uu.net, ftp.isc.org,
and the website at:

this topic are free to create an
alt.astrology.metapsych.moderated group and may post there. |

This unmoderated newsgroup
used to contain posting about astrology. Unfortunately one day a
mercurial control freak with NPD decided to try and impose his will on
the 'net, and the result was the smoking crater filled with naught but
the derisive laughter at Edmo's expense which you see before you today.
