Note to new peers

Due to a lot of peers already active, please check you match as many of the following critera before asking for establishing a new feed:

uses cleanfeed or any other spam protection method
having none or only one active feed to the Open-News-Network
submits to top1000.org
has a working abuse handling
has a decent network connection to AS31184

As a rule of thumb: When in doubt, just ask. Please send an e-mail to the adress mentioned above and make sure you do not send any binaries and add the max size!
