We have MOVED our Fish discussions OUT of here to a new group.

I'd rather submit to the chaos of Usenet than ever bother with a moderated web forum. I simply hope that once all the people who really _expect_ Usenet to be a sane, responsible, place leave for the Forums, the trolls will go with them. It's as easy to hack a website as it is to troll on a newsgroup. Yes you can get in but eventually you are going to run out of e-mails and IP addresses as they block these out. This is something usenet can't do. |

This is something usenet can't do. yeah, it can, but it isn't generally considered desirable. My ISP blocks a large amount of traffic (pretty much everything that looks like spam, not much in the way of trolls). I block almost all the trolling on my local NNTP server. Or a moderated newsgroup could have been set up, but again it's not something that Usenetters are fond of. I don't want the job, I don't trust most of the people who _do_ want the job, if you just have one moderator, posts will propagate too slowly, and if you have more than one, they'll squabble over what's acceptable. -- derek |
