For your newsgroups file:
alt.binaries.nospam.britbabes Glamour models from the UK.
Charter:
A group for the depiction and discussion of professional British
female models. British female models are defined as those originating
from the British Isles, by either birth, residence or main place of
work and publication. Posts do not have to originate from the UK.
Any form of behaviour which inhibits the group in performing it's
functions described above is considered unacceptable. Examples
include, but are not limited to, unsolicited commercial posting,
floods, crossposting and comments deemed by a reasonable person to be
offensive. Posts meeting generally accepted guidelines for
cancellation may be retrospectively subject to this measure. Links to
a FAQ providing more detailed guidance will be posted on a regular
basis.
WHATS ON TOPIC?
1. Images Of Female British Models
The rationale for the group is for sharing erotic images of
British professional female models. British may be defined by either place of birth or place of normal residence. Models whose careers are centered on UK publications are 'on-topic', but please note that occasional appearances in UK publications do not make a model 'on-topic'. Ireland for the purposes of posting alone is considered geographically part of Britain.Summary - A image is on-topic if contains a professional model who is British, living in Britain or whose career is centered on Britain.
2. Comments On British Models
Discussion may include giving and requesting information relating to British models and requesting posts and reposts (see further note).
Pointers to other newsgroups and
free websites for relevant material are most welcome, please share your find. These should the full group name, date, poster and header / file details or the full website address.Positive, constructive comments and questions about posts are both useful and a nice touch after a posting.
WHATS OFF TOPIC?
It would be easy to say anything else, but the real aim is keep away the three enemies of any
newsgroup, spam, trolls and flames.
1. Commercial posts, for pay or AVS sites, unless in response to a specific request. This may be relaxed where high quality unique images are provided or sites run by models themselves. Any commercial post that does not relate directly to British models is completely off-topic and is known as
SPAM.2. Misleading Posts. Examples include advertising sites that with bogus claims towards their content or cost.
3. Offensive Posts - Otherwise known as flaming and trolling. Examples include, but not are not limited to, foul and abusive language, bigotry and insulting valid posts made by other people. If you come across posts of this nature, please report them rather than responding in public.
4. Material which infringes the privacy and other basic human rights of the subject.
Summary: Basically in a nutshell folks don't spam, troll or flame.
Posts of this nature
WILL result in a complaint to your ISPMistakes can be made by anybody, but all members of the group have an obligation to report malicious posts of the nature described above to the appropriate ISP.
Technical Note: To report abuse - Copy the full message header and forward to abuse@xxx or postmaster@xxx at the source contained in the header.

Underage Girls
Please note that the posting girls under 16 is a serious criminal offence. American surfers please note that under UK law softcore pictures of 16-18 year olds are generally legal.
Offtopic Content
1. Posts that do not relate to the definition above of British models.
2. Amateur models, particularly of the 'Readers Wives' variety, are generally off-topic. Semi-professionals are permissable.
3. Pictures of men unless a British model is also depicted in the same shot.
4. Test posts are classified as spam, if it works in alt.test or alt.binaries.test then it will work in here!
5. Floods - See below
If in doubt whether something is on topic please ask the group!
WHATS PERMISSIBLE IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES?
Requests For Help
There is a lot of knowledge on the group relating to posting, viewing files and scanning.
1. Try and work it for yourself using the Help facility on your software or instruction book etc
2. Look for previous posts on the same subject
3. If all else fails post a request on the group including all necessary background information
Requests For Pictures & Reposts
1.
Look for the material somewhere else first - It is possible to find posts up to 2 months old if you look around. Posters cannot be expected to repost unless you have tried resolve a problem caused by your ISP first. Links to open servers are often posted in the group. In the event of material being missing from more than one independent server please make the original poster aware of this fact.2. Please be as clear as possible about what you are looking for.
3. Repetitive or offensive posting means that your chance of receiving those pictures is almost zero.
4. Do not request off-topic material or that which clearly does not exist
5. Do not e-mail posters asking for material or request that material is e-mailed - we do not know who you are and Usenet is for sharing
6. Be patient - Posting new material is a priority for most people.
The most successful way for your requests to be answered is to contribute to the group first.
Celebrities
The distinction between models and celebrities can be vague, please ask the group if you are unsure whether a subject is on topic. Celebrities however must be British.
ID Needed
Please post one picture, preferably showing a clear likeness, ideally files should not be too large. You should at least suspect that the model is British. Posts should not be used to identify random models or those who are obviously from another country.
Repeated posts which after warnings ignore these guidelines will result in complaints to your ISP.
POSTING
First off the more the better providing its on topic!!!
Basically just follow these few golden rules and you'll go a long way:
1. Use Indices - These make everybody's life easier as we don't all want every picture or may have some already. The only valid exception is for series of <10 pictures.
2. Use Meaningful Headers - A long thread of identical headers is useless for identification. Ideally headers should include the models name, filename and a short description. Where a model is working under a different name, please include her real name if you know it.
3. State Repost or RP Where Necessary - Once again it saves wasted downloads.
4. DON'T SHOUT - ITS HORRIBLE (Capital Letters).
5. Quality Please - Please do not post substandard or altered images unless they are of rarity value.
6. No Flooding - Please keep posts to a daily maximum of 150 pictures of one individual model or 250 in general, this allows other people to download and post themselves and stops the group being 'hijacked'.
7. Only one Image Per Header - Again saves wasted downloads and conversely there is no need to split image files into multiple parts.
8. Use Compact Files - Posting bitmaps wastes yours and the groups telephone time as they are up to 5 times as large as the equivalent JPG file.
9. Don't Crosspost (Post the message to more than one newsgroup) - It encourages Spam
10. Models who have their own viable newsgroup e.g. Charmaine Sinclair, Sam Fox or Jo Guest being the current examples, should primarily be posted to that group with a pointer message in alt.fan.televisionx
11. Indicate the type of content - H/C - Hardcore, F/F- Lesbian, M/F - Male / Female, Solo etc
12. Large files - Some ISP's will not upload binaries of greater than 500K, please split
these files into multipart format.
13. File format - If these are non-standard, please post a link to an appropriate viewer etc.
.Please note that web based systems are generally unsuitable for posting. Please use a newsreader based ISP.
