If you are talking about posts to news.groups.proposals being rejected,
I'd like to point out that nobody on the proposed moderation team has
any control over that group. If your posts are not reaching the
moderators for some reason, who's falut is that? Or if the rejection
messages are being lost after they are sent, who needs to look into
that?

This has nothing to do with the proposed group or it's moderation
team..

And of course, early on news.groups.proposals was dropped from the
crossposted by one of the repliers, so most of the posts in these
two newsgroups aren't even being seen by the moderators in
news.groups.proposals

I don't know whether that was deliberate, or just cluelessness.

ANd if they are getting over there but being rejected, one immediate
reason I can see as a possible reason is the quoting of the full
message being replied to, which often includes the full text of
previous messages, with only a line or two of "new material". That
makes it really hard to grasp what is being added, or even that
is being added.

But that isn't really a surprise, since that is some of the problem
we are seeing in the rec.radio.amateur.* hierarchy.

I gather news.groups.proposals has gone to moderated status (I don't
remember it being so the last time I looked, years back) in order to
keep existing feuds out of that newsgroup. But a lot of the replies
here are that existing feud.

FInally, of course if people aren't posting with legit email addresses,
and I don't know if that's the case, then the moderators can't reach
the posters to acknowledge receipt of the post, or acknowledge acceptance
or rejection of those posts.
