Vote For Moderating the Group

I think that we need the group to be moderated or else we'll just lose
it to the nutjobs.

This is why God created the killfile function in news readers. Use it.

rec.bicycles.racing used to be a great group but it has really run
downhill.

I'd be willing to moderate the group if you wouldn't mind a 2 day delay
over weekends. Or maybe someone else can act as co-moderator?

Any guesses as to who's the most killfilled person in this group (for those
who use 'em)?

I could go for this with Howard as comoderator as long as they both
have the ability to approve any post, but I'd rather keep the
responsibility on the individual. If you don't want to read it, then
don't. There are enough tools out there to limit the noise to whatever
you want. Personally I'm willing to live with the noise because since
Vern left, other than some CP meltdowns, it's been content oriented,
not just masturbating to personal abuse in public.

The very idea of anyone (least of all Tom) moderating this group is appalling
(sorry, I mean 'appaling') to me. How hard is it to skim through the headers and
"mark as read" the ones you don't find interesting? Or, shame of it all, use
killfiles? Or just leaving if it isn't to your taste? This stuff is pretty damn
basic. Pretty funny to see an attempt to Bill O'Reilly the group. I guess we had
some foreshadowing of how it would be when TK tried to keep people from
commenting on the passing of Keith Alexander.

Of course you do, you're the biggest offender of OT posts in the group.

At this point, I would vote NO because:

1. It is unusual for an unmoderated group to go moderated successfully.
2. There seems no faith in you as moderator.
3. There is an alternative moderated commercial list already.

Please can people use killfiles and not followup to trolls and OTs
other than to redirect, or fix slanders. Together, we can improve rbr.

I am troubled that net users are getting so bad at news. Not just rbr.

Optimistic best wishes,

I believe you're refering to tea bagging.

One of them and I admit it.

This is an excellent idea. Let Kunich moderate rbr so that rbr will finally
die completely. Then we can think about a closed access list allowing for
only cycle racing news and discussion with another list for doping
discussion once that issue is raised on the first list.

What's wrong with the existing one, ?


Aside from the fact that a) no one was ever allowed to join, and b) it no
longer existed until I just recreated it?

LOL

This has to be someone spoofing Tom. Can you imagine what a gruop
moderated
by TK would be like? The horror of it all.

That's hard to tell, but it's funny nonetheless...
