1st RFD: rec.bicycles.off-road moderated (remove)

The Real wrote: Is it possible to just remove the moderation requirement and just put it back the way it was? Not easily, as others have said. However you can set up a robot moderator that just approves everything it receives. That means the group is technically moderated but it doesn't require anyone to check messages every day. Others might be able to suggest the easiest platform to achieve this. Theo's idea has merit. The one thing that this newsgroup needs to survive is an individual who cares enough to step forward and invest the effort to make it work. The current newsgroups in rec.bicycles are rec.bicycles.marketplace Buying, selling & reviewing items for cycling. rec.bicycles.misc General discussion of bicycling. rec.bicycles.off-road Moderated off-road cyclist topics. (Moderated) rec.bicycles.racing Bicycle racing techniques, rules and results. rec.bicycles.rides Tours and training or commuting routes. rec.bicycles.soc Societal issues of bicycling. rec.bicycles.tech Product design, construction, maintenance, etc. A cursory examination shows that there is good activity in these groups (except .off-road, of course) and thus an existing population of people in Usenet who post on the topic. If someone stepped forward and stated that they would be willing to sponsor the newsgroup, I bet that someone else would offer to provide the robot moderation platform. |
