The group took a little time before it was eventually 'found' by all the Usenet servers, so it was not immediately available to everyone.

Whether the delays might increase as more groups join the moderation server I don't know, but it seems a small price to pay for the concentrated content. Any items which are filtered out, can be easily seen on a web site and I have seen no indications of bias on the part of the moderation process against any genuine posts. No attempt seems to have been made to completely eliminate trolling, only the more malicious ones are absent.

One of the objections to moderated groups I heard, was that newcomers would not be able to get to the content easily and that posting by newcomers would suffers long delays.

Please 'Mr Kyle', take your 'bone picking' elsewhere, there's a good chap - Harry has happily laid his hat in here for years whereas you have arrived in a group by following/stalking him and now choose to fill another group with your pathetic postings.

This seems a small price to pay, versus the alternative of the personal filter systems needed for so many of the open groups. Whether the delays might increase as more groups join the moderation server I don't know, but it seems a small price to pay for the concentrated content. Any items which are filtered out, can be easily seen on a web site and I have seen no indications of bias on the part of the moderation process against any genuine posts. No attempt seems to have been made to completely eliminate trolling, only the more malicious ones are absent. Those who thought that the move to moderated status might mean the end of the group, will I am sure find it a pleasant surprise. Looking at the original u.l.y newsgroup this evening, all the genuine posters seem to have abandoned it in favour of the new moderated version of the group. One of the objections to moderated groups I heard, was that newcomers would not be able to get to the content easily and that posting by newcomers would suffers long delays. This is absolutely untrue. They can be reading in no more time than it takes to subscribe to an umoderated group and posting with just a delay of a minute or two. If anyone wants to make this group moderated, I would certainly support it. -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (Lap) http://www.ukradioamateur.org Well it seems that this group is going down hill at some great speed, the idiots that blight the group are obviously discussing their tactics at playtime. Perhaps now's the time for the regulars of the group to try & go forward & moderate the group or just call it a day. Sinking ships come to mind from your words. We can always stick around and wait for them to get fed up or grow up. That's my intention. We certainly don't have to read their babblings. Mary Mary Quite contrary. I hope she's prepared to wait as long as DL have. I'm setting up my caravan as we speak.

A moderated group!
The Lord alerted my mind to the presence of this EVIL article by Leigh,
and I thusly replied: Phil Kyle wrote in news:e26ed1ad8221de3dcb77e128092b8e27 @news.teranews.com: I have a bone to pick with Harry. Wherever he lays his hat, that's my home. No - usenet doesn't work like that - people who have contributed to it for many years know that its common decency to take any flames/complaints or arguments to email whereas your style of name changing, filter avoidance and other tactics is not acceptable. Please 'Mr Kyle', take your 'bone picking' elsewhere, there's a good chap - Harry has happily laid his hat in here for years whereas you have arrived in a group by following/stalking him and now choose to fill another group with your pathetic postings. Take it to email or move on! Oooh, I like a challenge. -- The Reverend Parson Peter Parsnip Smiting Sinful Usenet Users Since 1874 "A ******* shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord." - Deuteronomy 23:2 |
