It's VERY easy to start a moderated group on Yahoo or Google, just log on to either one (you'll have to create an account if you don't have one) select "groups" and follow directions to start a group. Then you come back here, announce the formation of the group, invite people to apply to join and you'll probably want to add maybe two more moderators. The BIG problem is that someone has to want to spend the necessary time to moderate the group. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://blinkynet.net/comp/uip5.html |

It pre-filters for my XNews client and it does so with any info in the headers. The only problem I have is finding out how to score on conditions like responders in threads of known trolls and/or K00ks. But the caveat with that is you'll never see when someone is getting snowed on incorrect information and you would be there to stop that but can't because you have the bozo with the mis-information blocked from being seen. For instance, and Doug knows this bozo - we have one poster in Nanae who constantly morphs and spews his hatred of a certain method. I have all that m0r0nis's posts pretty much blocked - and any of his respondents as well. and now back into lurking..... |
