Name of Newsgroup: SOC.PENPALS
Status: UNMODERATED
Charter: This newsgroup is to make it possible for people on the net to
make friends and penpals. This will also give people a chance to have correspondents in other places of the world, which is helpful for
travel and tourism. Included will be postings of information about
people interested in becoming a penpal and also general information/questions about certain geographical locations are also accepted.
Rationale: It's true that you can meet people through other newsgroups
but you do not always have the guarantee that they will want to have penpals. Having this newsgroup makes it easier to make friends without possibly searching endlessly. As one person said to me during the rfd:
"You can't tell much about a person from an opinion or two in a post".
In soc.penpals, people would list post some of their interests so
others would get an idea about whether they'd like to correspond with
them or not. Also, this newsgroup has often been compared to
alt.personals. There is one major difference. There would not be any anonymous postings. As one person put it: "...a lot hide behind
anonymity to spew abuse and intolerance". Therefore, without the
anonymous postings, we may get rid of some of that.
