Whom do you suggest 'do' the moderation?
This is an unmoderated group so anyone can post anything they want .
Makes sense to me to post in relevant newsgroups, but 'there is no law

Then they should post the political 'crap' there.
As I 'said' makes sense TO ME to post to the relevant newsgroup but
people can (and do ) do what they want (including posting political crap
to a DIY newsgroup).

€œit should be clear by now to everyone that activist environmentalism
(or environmental activism) is becoming a general ideology about humans,
about their freedom, about the relationship between the individual and
the state, and about the manipulation of people under the guise of a
'noble' idea. It is not an honest pursuit of 'sustainable development,'
a matter of elementary environmental protection, or a search for
rational mechanisms designed to achieve a healthy environment. Yet
things do occur that make you shake your head and remind yourself that
you live neither in Joseph Stalins Communist era, nor in the Orwellian
utopia of 1984.€�

So, your disagreement is with people who post non-diy related things
like:

"There isn't a B&Q in Calne.

But there is a C, an A, an L, an N and an E."

"Mine is a Nokia N70, code named Rolf after the
infamous Mr.Harris"

"Did your Roberts model in 1967 have the turntable on the bottom
so that you could orientate for best signal?"

"eg, Why does pussy always go for the bowl of Jellymeat Whiskas?

Because he does not like bowls of iron filings and sawdust."

To quote your last four posts.

Currently in the UK it is "one person, one vote" . If that isn't
saying that politics is DIY, then what is?

Did you vote for Brexit?

Insofar as you have put a political question to me I will
answer it biefly out of courtesy, as follows ... I am totally
opposed to what passes for government on Brit
which is the festering sore of Monarchy despite claims made to the
contrary so never vote.

Frankly that is definitely the opposite of "DIY". Can I suggest that
if you wish to discuss "not voting" you find an "Anti DIY" group.

Political inactivity can never be described as DIY!!

Nothing political there in the odd throw-awy comment in response to

Nothing diy in there either. In fact you've posted almost no diy since
you came here. Most of what you post belongs in uk.humour.puerile .

You're either going to stick to the subject or you're not,
unilaterally deciding that one particular branch of OT is verboten makes
no sense at all.

Gareth is an insidious troll. If you don't ignore him it won't be long
before he's starting five of these threads a day and he won't be happy
until the group is all about him.

Erm, your feed must be particularly bad is all I can say. I do not think you
will change what has been going on since I've been here in the 1990s.
You could make it a moderated group, but who would do the work?At the very
least you would need a moderation bot, and trying to get newsgroups changed
over the whole world so that all new posts go to the moderation address has
been a problem for many years now. If human moderated, the immediacy goes,
and soon or or later so does the moderator leaving the group dead in the
water.
You can kill file people you find tiresome or just learn to sort the
messages .
I do a bit of both, and then sometimes you can still reply to the odd off
topic post if you want. If you use major killfiles though sooner or later
you end up not seeing anybody at all.
It is one of the prices we pay for using newsgroups. However Forum type
systems are the devils work, and I'd much rather have the pollution to
ignore than that draconian inefficient front end any day.

And of course there are the potty mouths on all groups, oh and the trolls,
sometimes one and the same. it is unfortunately how the world is. I suspect
you have never been exposed to social media then?
I have no real issue with any of it, its just so easy to skip whole threads
whether its talking about drain cleaner or Polly Ticks.
Remember this is plain text, no pretty pictures and hence the data space is
