moderated health and behavior newsgroup
We are thinking of setting one up since this group has become such a
wasteland. It would be through an easily-accessible venue such as Yahoo, etc. Would anyone here be interested in participating? If so, please send me an email - address in header is valid. Thanks! -L. |

Because this topic attracts those who are infatuated with cats as surrogate partners and/or children. That these people are mostly women speaks to why this kind of a forum cannot survive unmoderated. |

Hopefully there will be yourself and a counterbalancing male moderator only. ;^) That this forum turned into a womans club is a large part of it's downfall. |

We haven't discussed it. I will try my best to be gender-neutral for you. -L. |

It would be through an easily-accessible venue such as Yahoo, etc. Would anyone here be interested in participating? Conceivably, though in reality probably not. (How's that for clear? I wouldn't be an early adopter [heh] anyway). From my experience with moderated groups, the actual quality of moderation is very important - and it's all too easy for this not to obtain. It's a bit like that old saw that people who want power should explicitly not have it. Plus, it's often the case that any insults and such just become more underhand and designed to slip under the moderator's radar; they don't really disappear. YMMV. Steve. |
