I've never seen anything worthwhile come from Dizum; it's in my killfile
now. It calls itself "The Internet Problem Provider" for a reason.

Works for me for read only but I must have configured the guest account
wrong for writing. I tried "guest/guest" and "blank/blank" to no avail.

What's the guest posting username/password for the free news.dizum.net:119?

The neodome admin may have changed the guest password as it used to work.

Quite a few months ago Neodome went read-only because of abuse.
Some clown was launching floods from it.

I made a mistake by saying neodome when I had meant dizum.

Dizum used to allow limited posting to a guest account but I don't know
about neodome.

Given my mistake that you responded to, can you clarify if you meant
neodome or dizum changed to read-only recently?

Certainly there are very many read-only newsservers.
How many of those servers permit unregistered posting?

FTR: I echo your philanthropic views. However, I do not agree
with unregistered anonymous posting, whether for the benefit
of those who live under oppressive goverment or not. Such
posting is the domain of trolls and net-abusers who seriously
damage Usenet, sometimes to the point of making it unusable.

I do not know the answer where I guess that's your fundamental point.

However, to further the enlightened discussion without dismissing your
concerns, offhand, I am guessing these (at least) accept unregistered
postings (where others might - but I'm pretty sure each of these do).

news.mixmin.net:563
news.tambov.ru:563
paganini.bofh.team:563
news.ausics.net:563

However some, like ausics & tambov accept unregistered postings under
conditions conducive to the newsgroups or country they wish to serve.
> FTR: I echo your philanthropic views.

Good. We are soul mates in the regard that these server admins (and others
who require registration of some sort) are to be honored & revered for the
service they provide, and let's not forget, for which this ng is focused.

> However, I do not agree

Let's accept that as your point of view that "unregistered" postings are
what you disagree with even when it helps posters maintain anonymity.

How does that change your answer to my fundamental question which was to
point out that what dizum does for nntp server:563 posting (ignoring the
mail2news feature) is no different than what mixmin does, or bofh or tambov
(for educational newsgroups) or ausics (for Australian IPs) does.

How is what Steve Crook does with mixmin different (to you) than what Alex
de Joode at dixum does, or what Ivo Gandolfo does for bofh, or even, if we
delve into the not-so-distant past, what Paolo at aioe or netfront did for
those same nntp users (until circumstances caused them to break it off)?

Even Mozilla did it for a while with news.mozilla.org:563 for their
newsgroups (as you're likely well aware, as did gmane, but differently so).

Why your dislike of what Alex does and not what Steve & Ivo also do?

> Such

To be sure, nobody can disagree that abusers are the bane of the nntp
server admins, and I won't defend the trolls any more than you would.

However, many nntp admins implement methods to control those trolls, e.g.,
Ivo severely limits the number of posts per IP address while also limiting
the content of the body (e.g., the bofh badurl and badword filters are
Draconian, to say the least) while Paolo used to limit the number of posts
and the newsgroup list (e.g., he removed alt.home.repair for one, due to
the inordinate amount of spam from Dean Hoffman and those of his ilk).

Moving into the realm of those who do require registration, Wolfgang at
eternal-september limits the number of nyms allowed per account, while
Benjamin Gufler adds an "X-User-ID to solani posts, while Alexander
Samoylyk puts your IP address in the header in the clear and RetroGuy at
Rocksolid used to publish the username and IP address in the clear in the
headers (recently suddenly corrected, AFAICT) - all presumably as a way to
openly combat abuse of their precious free nntp server overall resources.

Every free nntp admin combats abuse in their own ways, do they not?

Given that premise (which may not be correct as I am no expert), my
fundamental question to you, given I assume each of these heroic free news
server admins faithfully combats abuse in their own ways, why do you
elevate Alex de Joode above all others?

More simply stated, what's so different as to be the source of wrath?

The guy who runs the server isn't dead yet so it maybe just be a little
longer. The guy is a skinflint I know that anyone who throttles
bandwidth on text new3sgroups would be close to first place in the
running for the cheapest cheapskate on Earth. He'll be back.

Why don't you run a free newsserver, Tony?

More simply stated: I have never seen ~anything~ worthwhile
posted via Dizum, "The Internet Problem Provider". I view that
service as an egregious troll-haven, pure and simple. You may
see things differently, that's your privilege. You are entitled to
your opinion just the same as I am.

Sorry, I'm not going to engage in your 'but what about' debate.
I view other services which allow posting without authentication
as being similarly suspect, although I have not so far killfiled them.

I prefer not to use such services; others may be less fastidious.
There are several respectable free services available at the cost
of simple registration. If a poster will not register, why should I
respect his posts?

You failed to back up your point of view with even a single fact.
If I may be blunt, your view is no different than any racist rant.

You completely ignored the needs & actions of an entire class of people.
And, you accused _every_ person in that class with a fabricated crime.

Eg., you have never seen ~anything~ worthwhile posted by black people.
Hence, you paint _all_ black people in all cases with the same crime.

IMHO, the problem isn't people posting via no-registration servers.
The problem is your unsupported racist views are completely unwarranted.
