The original GNKSA author thought that many Newbie s to Usenet posted malformed or inappropriately-sent articles because their software did not encourage better Netiquette . For instance, software which made it easy to confuse ''replying to a sender by email'' with ''posting a followup to a newsgroup'' led to users mistakenly publishing what was intended to be a private response, or vice versa.

Some of the guidelines from GNKSA 2.0

  • The user can see the essential header fields, including "Newsgroups" and "Followup-To".

  • The user can edit all header fields when composing a follow up.

  • There is a clear difference between 'followup' and 'reply'.

  • Followups preserve the Subject and References of the original article, unless the user explicitly changes them.

  • News software respects "Followup-To" and "Reply-To" specifications.

  • What the user writes is what gets posted, as is.


Additional requirements concern accurate From: headers, Signature Block formatting, and the ability to cancel and supersede articles.

Jonathan de Boyne Pollard has proposed a similar Good Net-Keeping Seal of Approval for Mail User Agents .
