This is what the raif FAQ says on the subject:

The other major exception to the crossposting rule is requests for
betatesters for games. Such requests may appear on either, or both, of
the newsgroups. However, please *do not* post replies to the
newsgroups. Send your reply to the author via private e-mail.
Otherwise, the resulting glut of "me too!" posts is extremely annoying
to the other readers of the newsgroup. Many authors will in fact
*ignore* such replies to the newsgroups, and will only respond to those
sent by e-mail. If you are an author posting for betatesters, you
should set your Followup-To: news header to the word 'poster' (no
quotes). See [How do I become an IF author?: 4.1] for more information
on betatesting your game.
