  • Unable to access chiark server and moderation queue for ULM

    From Simon Parker@simonparkerulm@gmail.com to uk.net.news.moderation on Mon Mar 16 12:18:54 2026

    I am unable to access the chiark server and therefore cannot look at,
    never mind process, the moderation queue for ULM.

    It appears to be a server wide issue, rather than just an issue
    accessing the mod bot as even the URL listing rejection reasons is
    timing out too.

    Can someone with access to the server please advise?

    Thanks

    Regards

    It's working for me right now, and I just approved a post and it
    appeared in the group.

    Can you access https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ ?
    Can you ping chiark.greenend.org.uk ?

    It is working now, so whatever was ailing me appears to have been
    resolved. (I tried it from three different machines and am currently on
    a different network, but I'll try again later from the original network
    and see if it is fixed there too.)

    Thanks for your assistance.
