A semi-mythical being that cancels
Usenet
articles posted by others. (In general, an article can only
be cancelled by its original author.)
The Cancelmoose's usual target is
spam or extremely
excessive
cross-posting.
Some believe that the Cancelmoose exists only in the same
mythic sense that
B1FF, the
NSA line eater and Shub Internet exist; others consider Cancelmoose's historicity to
be closer to that of
Kibo. The latter group assume that the
real Cancelmoose is not one person (or moose), but instead is
a cabal of
NNTP wonks. However, the Cancelmoose is probably
real, seeing as how it has its own
website.
