Go away Wanda. Vito tried to moderate this group last year and

That's an outright LIE. I NEVER "TRIED TO MODERATE THIS GROUP". I
proposed a SEPARATE group and it never failed. The result of the
vote was inconclusive because of vote fraud. WE VOLUNTARILY
declined the option to have a revote.

Do you regret that decision now?

No, not at all. The voting system was being abused by a sociopath at the
time. The problem wasn't fixed until MONTHS later.

At that time, it wasn't even POSSIBLE to "MODERATE THIS GROUP".

You're absolutely right about that, but who knows what tomorrow will
bring. I see that you have volunteered to serve on the committee
which will make decisions on the future of all Big 8 newsgroups. If
you're elected to the committee, would you support a removal of that
ban on proposals to change the moderation status of existing
newsgroups?

I support CHOICE. If someone wants to propose a NEW moderated newsgroup,
the people interested in using it should be the ones to decide if it is
worth creating, instead of a bunch of users in the UNMODERATED parent
group. If enough users in an unmoderated newsgroup want their group to be
moderated, that should be allowed. To answer your question, YES I think
the ban should be lifted and I intend to try and make that happen. But
that isn't the only reason I volunteered for the board. The Big Eight
group list needs a lot of cleaning up. Many dead and useless newsgroups
needs to go away. The new voting system (if there's even going to BE
voting) needs to be tested and established. Lots of stuff needs to be
fixed, and I look forward to being one of the people to make it all
happen.
