External newsgroups
CNS maintains a Usenet news server (nntp.ksu.edu) for the K-State campus. All newsgroups carried on
the K-State server are available for reading and posting to all valid K-State computer
users.
New newsgroups are added to the K-State Usenet news server when all of the following criteria are met:
- A K-Stater requests the addition of the newsgroup.
- The newsgroup does not contain illegal content (for example, child pornography).
- K-State receives an article posted to that newsgroup.
The latter restriction helps prevent the proliferation of bogus newsgroups.
Local newsgroups
Usenet newsgroups which exist solely on the K-State Unix servers because they are not
propagated to adjacent new servers may be established for purposes consistent with the
university's missions. These groups should be considered an alternative to LISTSERV mailing lists
as a mechanism for class-related discussions.
