rec.woodworking.moderated Woodworking discussion group for all
ages. (Moderated)

This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) for the creation of
a world-wide moderated Usenet newsgroup rec.woodworking.moderated.
This is not a Call for Votes (CFV); you cannot vote at this time.
Procedural details are below.

RATIONALE: rec.woodworking.moderated

This group is proposed as a moderated global forum for the discussion
of woodworking topics. The group is a moderated subgroup of
rec.woodworking (The Wreck, as it is commonly referred to by
subscribers), which is averaging more than 10,000 posts per month
in 2004.

Reasons for creating a moderated version of rec.woodworking:

1-To ensure that woodworking remains the only topic of discussion

2-To help divide the traffic of busy newsgroup that is very difficult
to keep up with

3-To provide a family-safe environment to discuss woodworking topics,
free of foul language and pornography links

4-To offer woodworkers a higher signal to noise ratio than
rec.woodworking provides

There are too many political debates, flaming wars, personal life
story exchanges, personal insults, for-sale signs, Ebay links, and
endless other forms of non-woodworking posts in rec.woodworking by
many people's standards. This new moderated group will give
woodworkers the option of subscribing to a group that is free of those
problems.

If you love The Wreck, but are tired of all the drivel, The Soft
Wreck will soon be here!

Has anyone seen this yet? I just checked the UVV site, and it is a REAL
proposal.

I'm an occasional reader here, but I'm not sure if I'd be interested in
reading a mod version of this NG.

This is probably the most orderly NG I visit.
