Usually, sysadmins cooperate to handle real troublemakers. The bottom line is, there is rarely a good reason to invite these sorts of problems, which can generally be wholly avoided by showing respect for others and observing basic etiquette and common sense. Usenet is just what we all make of it. The same goes for the Internet. Someone who violates netiquette by mistake or out of ignorance or misunderstanding is not an irretrievably lost villain destined to perish in eternal flames.
Most people are more than willing to give others the benefit of the doubt.
If you make a mistake but you learn from it and try not to repeat it, most people will be more than happy to accept you as a good citizen of the networked community. On the other hand, just like any other place, there are some people who are meanspirited and enjoy making others suffer needlessly. And just like any other place, there are some people who are so selfish they don't mind abusing common resources for their own ends, even in the face of repeated complaints, warnings, and flames from others. Just try not to be like either of these sorts of people and both Usenet and the Internet will be better places for everyone. Final note Both Usenet and the Internet are not just places that exist for your own selfish use and pleasure.
