No, I didn't know there were so many different cases of moderators anonymously posting personal abuse that you couldn't keep track of them all. You were using the phrase "anonymously posting personal abuse" to refer to rude rejection messages. I thought you were referring to posting personal abuse on the internet in general. We did have such an incident, which is what I thought you were on about. This was all years ago so I hope I can forgiven for not remembering everything in detail. We did have a problem with rejection messages that were ruder than they should have been. I don't think we have such a problem now.

Posting messages attacking the urcm moderators is not going to make Tom feel less justified and less like "banging on" as you put it. -- Ian Jackson personal email: These opinions are my own. http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ijackson/ PGP2 key 1024R/0x23f5addb, fingerprint 5906F687 BD03ACAD 0D8E602E FCF37657 |

There is no excuse for a post to remain in the queue for 14 hours, let alone the 22 hours that one of my posts took to eventually clear. No-one's posts are being delayed deliberately. I know that some other moderated groups use it as a tactic but we don't. I accept and believe that. I have had ukrcm posts cleared very quickly (whereas I wasn't even sure they'd be accepted). Perhaps you are one of the favoured. I'm not - I emailed the moderators and one of them replied: "**** off - you sniveling ****" He had been hand picked by Wacko. ======================================== That's pretty disgusting behaviour. Which of the moderators sent you that? |

That would be a discussion on moderation policy, which belongs here, not in urcm. As such no, it would not be welcome in the moderated group. If not, may I suggest it's rude to allow such a discussion about the mother group in urcm? Of course you may suggest it. I disagree. I believe the majority of urcm regulars I see a dozen people make more than half the posts - I bet most of them are moderators. It is a private members club of Wacko's friends (+ me in various guises) I have posted a message to the moderated group giving my opinion of their discussion. Progess of my post can be monitored he http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~webstump/l.urcm Posting date: 2012-07-31 22:3x =====Post to urcm===== On Tue, 31 Jul 2012 12:16:42 +0100, bugbear wrote: Holy Hells. I was googling recently, and (via google groups) ended up in a certain group some of used to use. It hasn't changed a bit :-( The same venom-laden exchanges, using the same phrases, between the same people are still going on. I'm astounded, if only by their sheer persistence. I think it is wrong to be discussing the mother group here while discussion of this group is not permitted within the group. =====/Post to urcm===== I wonder if the club members will close ranks, or if my opinion will be allowed to be heard. 7 hours on and my post still languishes in the delay list: http://tinyurl.com/c8mw7dj from: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/uc...k%404ax.com%3E I'll try another post incase my first has been overlooked. =====New post to urcm===== I find "the other place" far nicer. People are free to express their opinions, even if their opinions are minority opinions. However, there are a few objectionable foul-mouthed individuals who aren't worth listening to. I find it easy enough to ignore them if I choose. =====/New post to urcm===== Status here http://tinyurl.com/c8wwl8w from: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/uc...0%404ax.com%3E 14 and 7 hours on, and still my posts languish untouched in the moderation queue, while other posts are seemingly approved without let or hindrance. Still, a chance to lay one question to rest once and for all, is it the poster or post which is being judged. I will make a post supporting Jackson's opinion that the mother group is rubbish. If the post is allowed, we will know that moderation is on content (albeit biased towards the clique's view). If the post is blocked we will know moderation is by poster, not post. My post was binned. Oddly, my first post was allowed after a delay in excess of 24 hours. =====Supporting post===== On Tue, 31 Jul 2012 12:16:42 +0100, bugbear wrote: Holy Hells.

It is sad the group hasn't moved on. More than 24 hours? That's even longer than the 22 hours I had to wait. The moderated group is run by a bunch of ******s. ======================================= CORRECTION: I should have written: "uk.rec.cycling.moderated is run by a ******". I had forgotten that it's run by only a single person. |

The plea seems obvious: insanity. Correct. One would have to be insane to wish to join a moderated cycling group.
