Here is the original call for votes for those who missed it:
From: lear@NET.BIO.NET (Eliot Lear)
Newsgroups: news.admin,news.groups
Subject: CALL FOR VOTES: moderate news.admin
Message-ID: <Sep.30.02.12.18.1988.11370@NET.BIO.NET>
Date: 30 Sep 88 09:12:19 GMT
Reply-To: admin-votes@NET.BIO.NET
Followup-To: news.groups
Organization: Natl Computer Resource for Mol. Biologists
Lines: 36
Xref: bionet news.admin:690 news.groups:657
At this time, I am calling for votes on the idea of moderation of
news.admin. At least initially, I would be stuck with the job as
no one else would volenteer. [However, if you are interested,
make yourself known].
IF YOU WISH TO VOTE, SEND YOUR VOTES [**ONLY**] TO admin-votes@NET.BIO.NET.
Voting will end midnight, Oct. 30.
Please feel free to send me comments.
Here is a summary of the discussion:
The reasons for moderation are as follows:
o Moderation would raise the signal to noise level of the group.
The basic idea is that we would attempt to keep personal flames
and material that is clearly not germane to the topic (which is
pretty broad) OFF of the group.
Reasons against moderation:
o There are possible conflicts of interest with any given
moderator. [Ed: I don't foresee this being a problem.]
o Slower turnaround time.
o Could be done by individual user software.
Alternatives:
o Posting monthly ``rules''. I may implement this in some manner
if the vote fails.
