Call for a moderator of REC.WOODWORK

No... spam, trolls, etc., are annoying but so are moderators that aren't on-line 24/7, or who feel compelled to add tag-lines or commentary to everything crossing the group, or who burn up bandwidth nagging everyone about message formatting and etiquette. ;-)

Amen ;)

I noticed the postings this morning that probably inspired this request. I spent a couple of minutes adjusting my newsgroup rules and PRESTO: no more crap. I'm using plain old Outlook Express w/ Quotefix.

I don't see a need for a moderator. All they do is slow down the process of posting. In a group of this size I would agree it would be a monumental task.

Yep, I had the same problem with it. I had to reply to a reply to be able to quote him at all.

You could do this at one time. rec.bicycles.off-road was converted to a moderated group because of one troublemaker who could not follow the rules, started endless arguments about the impact of mountain bikes, would not listen to reasoned counter-arguments, etc.

It was a royal pain to convert rec.bicycles.off-road. I don't think anyone really wants to spearhead changing this group or making a new one.

How much does the job pay?

Adding "Mike Zuchick" to my news filter.

Pan or Dionysis would be more fun... Even Thor, who at least has a hammer!

Nope. I hate this crap as much as you do but I'll leave it to myself to filter out that which I don't like.

Ignore it, This too, shall pass.

Are you guys saying that "Nibble my nipples" isn't a regular poster to the wreck??? And here I was pissed that they forgot to put OT in front of their post...

On a serious note, please keep the religion out of it - it's almost as annoying as "Munch my Meat" and his post about his "uncut penis head". (He's a regular poster though, right?)

Ben

He's a regular *sumpthin*, that's for sure!

djb

right on!

he's been in mine for a couple of years, I think. I had forgotten about him until I saw the replies to his drivel.

Twain quotes. How do you like that?

Count me as a vote for Mark Twain.

Thanks for posting. You sliped out of my killfile somehow. Got ya.

I hate trolls, but I also don't like moderated newsgroups.

My vote is No.

To me. The difference is, I didn't ask for them, in Christ's name or any other.
