cancelbunny
(foldoc) | Cancelpoodle
Cancelbunny
(Or Cancelbunny) A manifestation of the
Cancelmoose in the form of a more selective (and probably
not automated) way to cancel Usenet articles.
The term became common during the alt.religion.scientology
wars of the mid-90s, during which Cancelpoodles were used.
The "poodle" part is an allusion to one of the parties
obliquely involved in the fray, who an earlier well-known
witticism had compared to "a psychotic poodle".

Cancelm00se
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.

Cancelbunny
(Or Cancelbunny) A manifestation of the
Cancelmoose in the form of a more selective (and probably
not automated) way to cancel Usenet articles.
The term became common during the alt.religion.scientology
wars of the mid-90s, during which Cancelpoodles were used.
The "poodle" part is an allusion to one of the parties
obliquely involved in the fray, who an earlier well-known
witticism had compared to "a psychotic poodle".

cancelmoose[tm]
(jargon) | Cancelmoose[tm]
/kan'sel·moos/
[Usenet] The archetype and model of all good spam-fighters. Once upon a
time, the 'Moose would send out spam-cancels and then post notice
anonymously to news.admin.policy, news.admin.misc, and
alt.current-events.net-abuse. The 'Moose stepped to the fore on its own
initiative, at a time (mid-1994) when spam-cancels were irregular and
disorganized, and behaved altogether admirably — fair, even-handed, and
quick to respond to comments and criticism, all without self-aggrandizement
or martyrdom. Cancelmoose[tm] quickly gained near-unanimous support from
the readership of all three above-mentioned groups.
Nobody knows who Cancelmoose[tm] really is, and there aren't even any good
rumors. However, the 'Moose now has an e-mail address () and
a web site (http://www.cm.org/.) By early 1995, others had stepped into the
spam-cancel business, and appeared to be comporting themselves well, after
the 'Moose's manner. The 'Moose has now gotten out of the business, and is
more interested in ending spam (and cancels) entirely.
