Were the moderated newsgroup punce just blowing smoke?

The qrz.com groups, including the Q&A group, is moderated. They have been pretty successful. There are presently 108 topics in the Q&A section many with 30+ replies. I won't go near moderated newsgroups, but on the other hand, it's hardly "censorship" when they are created in response to all kinds of junk in a newsgroup that is there because people have no sense of self-control. There is ultimately a big difference between saying what you want to say, and saying what you want to say even if it has no relevance to the topic at hand. It's the latter that have damaged this newsgroup (with overflow to some of the other newsgroups). I would point out that while I basically try to tune it out, it would seem there are attempts at "censorship" here, in the spews by a few people who just think by repeated postings attacking other posters they can get their way. People who don't like others imposing rules have to accept some responsibility in helping to ensure that any space is still a valid space. Michael VE2BVW |
