from my previous post:

This just reinforces your newcomer status. That's old, and it as all
revamped last year. If you can't find the actual up to date information,
then your role in this discussion is invalid.

You don't have the posting history to even be considering this. You don't
know the history of the newsgroup, you don't know that the junk posts ebb
and flow, you don't even realize that other than the digital radio posts
most of the junk posts are cross-posted. You are unaware of what already
exists in the way of branded "groups".

You are a newcomer here, and instead of rushing in to change things, you
might just go and find one of those other existing spaces, where
you might fit in better. You don't have the history here to be reacting
to the junk posts, the reality is likely that you don't like the notion
of unmoderated newsgroups in the first place, so you want to impose
what you desire on a longstanding newsgroup.

Some of us have been around for over ten years, and there may even
be some still posting here who were around from before I arrived.

You ultimately can't change this newsgroup to moderated, because that
ignores those of us who have been around far longer than you and who
don't feel the need for moderating.

But any beginner needs to listen before they can act, and you haven't
shown proof that you have listened enough to even be considering
any of this.
