Create a Knowledge Base
Yes,

One of the main goals of UNIX.COM is to create a searchable on-line knowledge base. That is why we encourage people to search the forums first. If the answer to a question is already in the database, it is not the best use of everyone's time to spend time answering it again.

So, we hope to expand the knowledge base by spending time and resources working on creating knowledge about new topics, not answering the same questions again and again because the poster/user does not want to spend a few minutes to search the database.

If we have lots of discussions, flames, and chit-chat (like most sites) then when people search they will pull up a lot of useless discussions that do very little to solve their problems.

This site is about knowledge and expanding the knowledge base (database of knowledge)...... and it is completely commercial free.

And it is free to all users. Silk Road donates the site, bandwidth, the operations and maintainance of the forums, the expenses of the graphics, the animations, the look and feel; our incredible moderators and administrators donate time and knowledge to the site for the benefit of users; the users donate their time and knowledge as well. Everyone wins!!!

All without commercial influence, blinking banner ads, or pop ups!!! This is how we think this corner of the Internet should be Smilie Thank you for your involvement in the UNIX.COM community.

MODERATORS(5)							File Formats Manual						     MODERATORS(5)

NAME

       moderators - mail addresses for moderated Usenet newsgroups

DESCRIPTION

       The  GetModeratorAddress(3)  routine  reads  the file /etc/news/moderators to determine how to reach the moderator of a newsgroup.  This is
       used by inews(1) when an unapproved local posting is made to a moderated newsgroup.

       The file is read until a match is found.  Blank lines and lines starting with a number sign (``#'') are ignored.  All  other  lines  should
       consist of two fields separated by a colon.

       The  first  field  is  a  wildmat(3)-style pattern.  If it matches the name of the newsgroup, then the second field is taken to be a format
       string for sprintf(3).  This string should have at most one %s parameter, which will be given  the  name  of  the  newsgroup  with  periods
       transliterated to dashes.

       Here is a sample file:
	      foo.important:announce-request@foo.com
	      foo.*:%s@mailer.foo.com
	      gnu.*:%s@prep.ai.mit.edu
	      *:%s@uunet.uu.net
       Using the above file, postings to the moderated newsgroup in the left column will be sent to the address shown in the right column:
	      foo.important	  announce-request@foo.com
	      foo.x.announce	  foo-x-announce@mailer.foo.com
	      gnu.emacs.sources   gnu-emacs-sources@prep.ai.mit.edu
	      comp.sources.unix   comp-sources-unix@uunet.uu.net
