through and generate an intelligent conversation.....


I know my fellow moderators want to go very light on the mod stuff. I had
to de-plonk some when I discovered this on-topic thread. ;-) I can't wait
to find one of those "magic" markers and start writing CULL on my fish for
the Kingfisher to know what to take. LOL!!!!! And yes, if I was being the
judge that would have gone thru, and I bet all the other mods would agree
w/me. ~ jan


So maybe these are keywords that should be included in any moderation
policy - cull, kill, shoot, capture, rid myself of, dispose etc. etc.

I'm not sure I'm following, keywords for the automoderator to toss the
post? ~ jan

No, keywords to refer the post for human moderation....none of these
keywords would necessarily mean that the post was off-topic on this
group....Keywords for robo-moderation are going to have to be very
comprehensive....and added to all the time...and there aren't too many
that couldn't be open to interpretation....you have your work cut out
I'm afraid....but perhaps at some point a group of non-moderators but
interested parties could help with the compiling of this list. Jayne's
suggestion about some of us working out some posts - valid, invalid,
flaming, on-topic, off-topic could help when developing this process
before going live....
