netcop

A user who attempts to enforce netiquette or other standards, especially on Usenet.

Isn't the infamous "netcop" post that gets reposted here weekly your justification for continuing the discussion on news.admin, due to your interpretation of news.admin's charter?

To call out, criticize or complain about (someone or something), especially when attempting to enforce netiquette or other standards, especially on Usenet.

So I just skip over them, rather than netcopping every time I don't like the content. Any thread with 'jealousy' in the title doesn't even get a look, but perhaps I should start netcopping about how that has been done to death here, and I didn't even find it interesting or relevant to me the first time it was brought up?

But what's the reason for netcopping this shit at all? What pisses you off about these posts? Spare me the bandwidth shibboleth (should we mod usenet as a whole? Then Who giveth bandwidth and who taketh it away?). I don't think you want to make a 'whataboutthechildren' type arguments either.
