The moderators are not the problem, its assumptions made about the
mods and subtle changes certainposts may make by posters. Mods are
fine.........no need to change anything there...IMHO

I just know with the amount a few posters post and then wanting to be
choosey on who actually pases or denies their posts its gonna put a
lot of work onthat one mod, and leave other mods open for attacks with
claims to being biased ect from certain disgruntled posters.......Its
pretty bad that mods are getting trashed and opinions formed by one
whos posts get spread around like a viral infection long before they
get to do real moderator work.........That certianly can not be good
for a new group ,moderated or not. If thatone person cannot get rid of
certain mods its not going to take much to see that thye will do their
best to disupt the group with numerous posts......Somehow I think
actually banning is not a bad idea......and before its all over I bet
others are gonna see it that way too.

Houston, we have a problem......Y'all gonna have to modify the RFD to
allow potential posters the right to specify what mmoderator will
infact read their posts for approval. Seems some have troupble with

priveledges on who gets to read her posts I also request that only
certain ones read and approve mine and no one but them.........

Just how far is this moderation requirement gonna need tobe refined
just to suit the problems created by one............I think it would
have been a whole lot quicker and really more efective if a consensus
of foks banded together and went after a certain person ISP and got
rif of the cancer totally.........Then all of usenet would be a better
place moderated or not.


I trust specialized moderator treatment will not put a delay in the
reading and posting of posts will it? I sure hate to miss any posts
that one has as its sure been a very enlightening experieince wth that
persons methods....

We aren't set up to do anything at all like that right now. About
the only thing like that we have addressed is a common feeling that
moderators would not moderate their own posts. Even that requires
that a moderator recognize their own post and pass on it, sort of an
"honor system." It is pretty much chance as to what moderator reads
what post. It's doable in the software, but isn't written yet. For
now, it seems that the most effective thing is to raise objections to
the proposed moderator(s) about whether or not they should even be
moderators.
