Newsgroups  
 
  What you should know about Newsgroups 03.03.00
 
 
  Because many people are reading newsgroups or are downloading files from them, many owner of paysites uses the newsgroups to make advertising (undesirable advertising = SPAM) for their Home-Webpages. Especially in the erotic- and sex- newsgroups you will find many Spam, in some groups you will find at some days only Spam. Many people which posts (send a message to the group) Spam always uses other and different sender-address. They do that, so filter are not able to work.

You will find many messages with Web-Addresses and text like this, "Visit my total free webpage", or similar text. Mostly there is nothing free or only a little preview.

A special trick is, when someone want to sell an erotic-video, he post a message. Some days later same person post one or more messages with an other sender-address and text for example like this: "What a beautifully video, the best i ever have seen".

An other trick is, when an owner from a Pay-Wabcam asks in a message the group for the address from this Webcampage, and one day later he post some messages with the address, of course all with an other sender-address. So it seems for the other, that is an interested Webcam, and it not looks like Spam.

Sometimes you will find in the newsgroups messages like "It's me" and the message includes a picture from an for example 18 years old boy. But mostly it is not a picture from that one who posted the message.


TIPS:

When you see a message with text like "Visit my Homepage" with a Home-Webpage address and you visits this page, leave it when there are only Banner to see, or only Links to see. Leave it too when there is standing "My page has moved" and there is standing a new Link, because its Spam. Someone who want that you visit his Web-Homepage can write the right Webaddress when he post that message.

When you want to post a message, do not use your real e-mail address in the sender-address (From). Include some letters or words like *NoSpam*. For example your e-mail address is "[email protected]", then change it in your mail programm to "michael*NoSpam*@xyz.com". In the message write something like that: " For reply delete *NoSpam* from my e-mail address, or write your real e-mail address into the message.
The reason for that is, it gives people which collects e-mail addresses from newsgroups with special programs to send spam to them or to sell the e-mail addresses to other they will send Spam. When you have changed your e-mail address, then your address is worthless now.

Be very cautious when you read in a newsmessage from any gay-group "Want to exchange (share) self made Nude-pictures", also when that message includes a picture of that Gay. You do not know if it is a picture really showing himself, or is it a picture of an other. And may be, this sender of that message want only collect pictures on that easy way to sell them on his "Amateur-picture" Pay-Home-Webpage.

Messages with Home-Webpage addresses for Webcams are mostly Paysites.

Be cautious when you read in a newsmessage from any newsgroup "Please send me erotic-pics per e-mail" and this message is without a erotic-picture. Because you do know nothing about this person, so you can get very easy hassle with the law.

If you are interested to collect pictures from newsgroups, and do not want to download all Spam, make some "Test-downloads". Most Gays which are posting pictures, posts mostly more than only one picture. Look at the column "author" or "sender". When you see a sender several times and the messages are different, select two or three messages and download them, then you can see if it is spam or not. If it is spam ignore all other messages from same author, if you like the picture download all other messages.
