To the moderators of rec.radio.amateur.moderated; Please stop posting these blog echos here. I'd like to see this group be a useful place to discuss homebrew equipment, but your posts drown out any useful content that might happen. Can't you stick to your own moderated group? You have managed to kill it off with virtually no postings other than the blog echos you seem obsessed with. It appears you do not understand "moderated newsgroups"... When someone, e.g. KB6NU, posts a message to multiple newsgroups that include a moderated group, e.g.: Newsgroups: rec.radio.amateur.moderated,rec.radio.amateur.home brew the news posting software will recognize this and instead of posting it will mail the message to the moderator of the moderated group, who will then post the message in both groups. So, when you see a multiposted message in a moderated and non-moderated group, it will appear like it is being posted by the moderator, but in reality there is someone else who has originally submitted the message. In this case that may be KB6NU or someone else who likes to relay those blog messages to usenet, but the poster is not necessarily related to the moderator of the group. Firstly we do know they are related and work together. Secondly, it is the choice of moderators to allow cross-posts to their newsgroup: many don't. I found my reply to the original message showed up in r.r.a.m, so either the reply escaped moderation or the moderators have moderated their policies on moderation. lol I've sent messages before that attempted to discuss the nature of the group and they were rejected because they were meta-discussions... discussions about the mechanism of discussion. Yes, I was surprised your post appeared. My experience is that if they reject it, the post is lost despite the cross-posting, so any replies I make, I take out the moderated newsgroup. Michael I was actually trying to see if I could get some conversations going in r.r.a.m and started with saying something like, "I don't see many conversations here". That was the content that caused my post to be rejected. I can see why no one posts in r.r.a.m. I don't get why they need to trash r.r.a.h as well. It has a chance of getting useful discussions going. -- Rick |
