-Thank you for your message. However, we have not approved it because

+The post that you submitted to %GROUP% has been rejected by a
+moderator.
-Reasons for us thinking a posting was a mistake often include:
- - It didn't contain any new text;
- - It appears to have been truncated or mangled;
- - It looks like it was sent before it was finished;
- - It looks like it was meant to be sent by private email;
- - Multiple identical postings;
- - It looks like it was meant for a different newsgroup.
+The moderator assumes that you posted this by mistake. It may be that
+it quotes a previous post without adding your own comment, or the text
+you have added may appear incomplete. We hope you will review and then
+re-submit your message.
-If this decision was wrong please let us know, preferably before
-resubmitting your message. If the decision was right then we thank

WebSTUMP has a capability to process certain articles automatically,
-without involving a human moderator. For instance, if you decide that a
-certain thread has strayed off topic, and you no longer want ANY articles
-from that thread to ever appear, you can add the Subject of that thread
-to the list of bad threads. That will cause all submissions with that
-subject header to be automatically rejected.<P>
+without involving a human moderator. For instance, you may whitelist
+particular posters, meaning all articles that they submit (except
+those containing words on the Suspicious Words List) will be posted
+without requiring any further intervention.<P>
Generally, WebSTUMP users can do filtering by the following criteria:
<UL>
<LI> By poster
- <LI> By Subject
<LI> use the list of suspicious words
</UL>
<OL>
- <LI> Reject message if the author is listed in <A
- HREF=##bad.posters.list>the List of Banned Posters.</A>.
-
- <LI> Reject message if the Subject: field is listed in <A
- HREF=##bad.subjects.list>the List of Banned Subjects</A>.
-
- <LI> Reject message if the article contains words from <A
- HREF=##bad.words.list>the List of Banned Words</A>.
-
<LI> File message for human review if the author is listed in <A
HREF=##watch.posters.list>the List of Untrusted Posters</A>.
- <LI> File message for human review if the Subject is listed in <A
- HREF=##watch.subjects.list>the List of Suspicious Subjects</A>.
-
<LI> File message for human review if the article contains words from <A
HREF=##watch.words.list>the List of Suspicious Words</A>.
<LI> Approve message if the author is listed in <A
HREF=##good.posters.list>the List of Preapproved Posters</A>.
- <LI> Approve message if the Subject: field is listed in <A
- HREF=##good.subjects.list>the List of Preapproved Subjects</A>.
-
<LI> File all still unprocessed articles for human review.
