Re: Posting this Newsgroup's (RAMJ+W) CHARTER.
A moderated newsgroup is one in which an actual gatekeeper or
moderator physically approves of each post. That is not the case here. |

That is not the case here. In many ways the group is self moderated. I have seen several members at one time or another remind others what the guidelines are. Particularly in the case of trolls or commercial posters. This is really a VERY good group. The gentle reminders now and then help keep it from getting completely askew but the relaxed atmosphere makes it an enjoyable place to hang out. Kate |

Sooner or later, almost every newsgroup becomes a target for spammers, cross posters, off topic discussion, etc. and the good members eventually give up and leave. It's a great pity but.... that's how it works, a charter is no protection as it can be completely ignored. Only moderated newsgroups can survive the above but they don't survive, either. Sooner or later the moderation becomes too strict and the long time members are driven away. Anyone who's been on usenet for many years knows exactly how it works and, again, I wish it weren't so but every group seems to follow the pattern. |
