The Good NetKeeping Seal of Approval or GNKSA is designation that indicates a piece of Usenet software for end-user use meets a minimum set of posting standards.
The original GNSKA guideline author felt that many newbies to Usenet had clueless posts because their software didn't help them know better. So these standards are based on what rn, an early newsreader, provided.
Here's a quote from the introduction of GNSKA 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 followup.
- - There's 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.
