Sadly supporting moderation

[...] I disagree. I don't believe bad advice should be moderated at all - just rebutted. I'm not into censorship, despite supporting a moderated group, and while I've been ponding for more than a decade, and have some techniques I think are winners, I know that I'm not an expert - and then there are the things like shooting Herons: even when we know it's illegal, we can hardly ban posts for illegal advice without treading on very thin ice unless we're practicing lawyers (in the appropriate locale). I know of at least one precedent for a charter which disallowed posts for advocating illegal acts. So it may be reasonable to include something like this if most users wanted it. Another option is accepting the messages and posting them with an appended warning, such as "Warning: this post contains advice that may be illegal in your area." (STUMP moderation software supports this.) Or, as you say, you can allow the post as is and hope that someone posts a rebuttal. I suggest getting as much input on this question as you can from potential group users during the RFD. You can do this during the discussion or it is possible to set up a poll for this. -- Jayne |
