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

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.
