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).


indeed that has been the tacti cof most of the procoders for a decade
roughly

Jim posts over and over the same attacks because len once dared to make
a proposal that Jim has never gotten out of his head

Heil in most of his posts goes on and on about why a given poster
should not be allowed to have his opinion heard or considered

Roesbon and Wismen and few other tryo to turn NG in a discussion of
their target sexuality or threat against their person life
