==Thresholds==
* According to RFC 1036 only the author of the target message or the administrator of the site that injected the message is allowed to send a cancel.
* According to the Spam Thresholds FAQ <ref name="thresholds">[http://wiki.killfile.org/projects/usenet/faqs/spam/ Spam Thresholds FAQ]</ref> a BI of 20/45 applies to all hierarchies. Series of articles above this limit may be canceled by everyone.
* In some hierarchies alternative (stricter) limits were defined through a public vote.
* No cancel messages or any derivatives thereof are allowed within free.*.<ref>[http://wiki.killfile.org/projects/usenet/faqs/free/ free.* FAQ]</ref>

In fact a cancel message is a just a non-binding request to remove a certain article.
[[News server]] operators can freely decide on how to implement the conflicting policies.<ref>[http://wiki.killfile.org/projects/usenet/faqs/cancel/ Cancel Messages: Frequently Asked Questions]</ref>
