For example, the policy could require two moderators voting to reject a post. -- Jayne ====================================== No good Jayne. She's already as much as admitted she'd reject every *on-topic* message I posted. Who would the second moderator be? There very well may be a moderation team of 4 or 5 moderators. That's probably what it would take making sure none of the regulars who indulged in the troll-fest and personal attacks being one of them. Someone neutral from outside the group or one of her close long time friends? And how would anyone know who THEY were? Many of us back-channel and no one knows who's really close or not. Which brings us back to favoritism and politics. Is there anyone on rec.ponds that you would trust as a moderator? Jayne, at this point who can anyone trust here? Sometimes you can't tell the trolls from the legitimate pond posters. The trolls impersonate others creating more distrust and confusion. Does anyone know who's still here or who left for good? There may be several trustworthy people but they're lurking, not posting. The only one I would trust that I still see posting is Derek. I don't know who George is. I have seen you say elsewhere that you like the idea of a neutral outsider. How would you determine if a specific outsider were trustworthy? I think I'd trust someone with no connection to this NG at all before some of those I still see here. The ones who kept feeding the trolls and who kept the pot stirred for whatever reason they have. Why would anyone trust them? If you can clarify what you are looking for (not necessarily now, but during the RFD) it should be possible to have a moderator on the team that you trust. Someone who was not involved in the flame wars of the past 2 years and not one of those who keep stirring the pot with personal attacks - and still are! Plus the time element involved between sending a message and it appearing on the group having to have gone through 2 or more moderators could cause hardship for those with emergency situations. It is possible for there to be different threshholds for approval and rejection. For example, if one moderator can approve but it takes two to reject, speed is not affected. That sounds reasonable as long as it's not someone who plans to reject every message someone sends and her/his good buddies allow the abuse. They'd never admit they'd do such a thing of course. :-) It's a technique used to discourage posters from posting anything. How can be know before hand what their relationships are? Keep in mind Jayne that they already have an exclusive pond-aquaria group where they can post. I do not think that exclusive moderaton policies are likely in the new group -- KL....

Derek has volunteered to be a moderator. At this point, it looks like there will be sufficient volunteers to be moderators that George will not need to be one. -- Jayne |

Now knowing who George is I can't comment on which direction he would go. -- KL.... Frugal ponding since 1995.
