REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)
moderated group news.admin.moderation

This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) for the creation of the
moderated Usenet newsgroup, news.admin.moderation.


NEWSGROUPS LINE: news.admin.moderation

news.admin.moderation Technical and social issues of newsgroup
moderation. (Moderated)


RATIONALE: news.admin.moderation

Currently, newsgroup moderation is discussed primarily in
meta-discussions throughout the Big-8 hierarchies, especially in
news.groups.* and news.admin.net-abuse.*. However, none of these
newsgroups is truly appropriate for these discussions. A dedicated
newsgroup would help consolidate and nurture these conversations.


CHARTER:

news.admin.moderation is a moderated newsgroup for discussion of
newsgroup moderation. Some suitable topics for discussion include:

* how to be a good moderator
* moderation "best practices" - for example, how/whether articles
should
be edited before approval; should articles be re-directed to other
newsgroups; how should article rejections be handled
* developing appropriate moderation policies and implementations
* methods for filling vacancies in a moderation team
* moderation software and moderation hosting services
* whether moderation is appropriate for a specific topic
* what to do if the moderator of a group you use disappears, and
other
problems with specific moderated groups
* whether it would be appropriate to propose demoderating a specific
group (the actual proposal, if made, would be to the appropriate
configuration newsgroup)

Unsuitable topics include:

* discussion of moderation of web forums, mail lists, etc, except in
as much as they pertain to newsgroup moderation
* actual proposals for a new moderated newsgroup (such discussion
should occur in news.groups.proposals or other configuration
newsgroups)
* "moderation in general: good or bad?"
* flames, attacks and derogatory comments or nicknames

Minimal crossposts may be allowed at the discretion of the moderators.


MODERATION POLICY: news.admin.moderation

news.admin.moderation is team-moderated, based on the above criteria.
Ideally, most posts will be automatically approved by a robot
moderator, to improve post turnaround time and reduce moderator load.

Users will be added to a group whitelist after a small number
(typically 1-5) of hand-moderated posts. Users may be removed from
the whitelist at the discretion of the moderators. Site and subject
watchlists and blocklists may be implemented to monitor group content
and to stop forgers and abuse; posts so marked will (generally) be
kept for manual approval, and not automatically rejected.

A current list of posting criteria will be published regularly.

Posting with a non-replyable or "munged" address is strongly
discouraged. If you feel that you must use a munged address, you are
encouraged to append ".invalid" to the end of the munged email address
to indicate that the address is not deliverable even when ".invalid"
is stripped from the end; in any case, the moderators will not attempt
to unmunge any addresses. Users who do not munge their email address
will be notified of rejected submissions via email. Note that
submissions may be filtered to remove spam, spews, and other attacks.

PROCEDU

For more information on the newsgroup creation process, please see:

http://www.big-8.org/dokuwiki/doku.p...icies:creation

Those who wish to influence the development of this RFD and its final
resolution should subscribe to news.groups.proposals and participate
in the relevant threads in that newsgroup. This is both a courtesy to
groups in which discussion of creating a new group is off-topic as
well as the best method of making sure that one's comments or
criticisms are heard.

All discussion of active proposals should be posted to
news.groups.proposals. To this end, the 'Followup-To' header of this
RFD has been set to this group.

If desired by the readership of closely affected groups, the
discussion may be crossposted to those groups, but care must be taken
to ensure that all discussion appears in news.groups.proposals as
well.

We urge those who would like to read or post in the proposed newsgroup
to make a comment to that effect in this thread; we ask proponents to
keep a list of such positive posts with the relevant message ID
(e.g., Barney Fife, ).
Such lists of positive feedback for the proposal may constitute good
evidence that the group will be well-used if it is created.




DISTRIBUTION:

This document has been posted to the following newsgroups:

I agree that the idea of Frito being a moderator is one of the
funniest ideas I've ever encountered. I advise anybody who thinks
Frito Kuhn is a tolerable choice to try to have a rational
conversation with him.

Feel free to take his bad-tempered efforts to moderate his fam.*
hierarchy into consideration.
