free usenet provider FOR POSTING?

[Beck38]

I think one of the major newsgroup servers should allow free unlimited posting with no speed limits, it would increase content available not to mention theres probably alot of people with fast connections that would upload to usenet, if they didnt have to pay.

A couple over the years have tried, but the problem (as always) is the folks that abuse it, i.e., spammers and such. So, away it went. That's the same reason most large providers (Giganews and the like) stopped block accounts, even most of those that still do won't take anything other than fully 'qualified' credit cards, no money orders, no 'gift cards', even those from Visa/MasterCard, so that mostly lets out younger types, or those not willing to put their entire credit history at risk. Sad but true.
