As with email spam, you must use your best judgment. By normal usenet definitions, spam is a message which is either cross-posted excessively or multi-posted excessively. However, other forms of postings are often frowned upon by usenet administrators and ISPs in general even if not strictly defined as spam. Usenet is much more complicated than email to evaluate. Each group has its own rules (for instance, most groups – but not all – forbid commercial postings). When reporting a usenet message, you should always add some comments of your own to indicate why you are reporting the message as spam. Indicate what local rules the poster is breaking and include a link to the group’s charter, if available. Or, indicate that the message has been excessively multi-posted or cross-posted. Under no circumstances should you report messages which are freedom of speech issues.
