This post is concerned with the general philosophy of moderation in
general, and would be more appropriate for news.groups. Please
restrict your discussion to issues specifically relating to this
proposal.

Your submission has been rejected because it is off-topic in the
newsgroup news.groups.proposals. This newsgroup is for the
announcement, discussion, and development of active proposals for
changes to the Big 8 hierarchies, as documented at
http://www.big-8.org/. Discussion begins in news.groups.proposals
when the Request for Discussion (RFD) is posted in
news.announce.newgroups and continues until a decision is announced.

Common topics that do not belong in news.groups.proposals include:

- Discussion of world events or "the news" - see talk.current-events
- Proposals for alt.* or other non-Big-8 hierarchies - see alt.config
or the appropriate regional config newsgroup
- "How do I do X with my newsreader?" - see news.software.readers
and/or news.newusers.questions

The charter of news.groups.proposals is at
http://www.big-8.org/~ngp.

Thank you,

- Moderator.

a clean break. If I have to check *two*
newsgroups as a substitute for previously having had to check one, that's
unfortunately not an improvement.

The simple solution for most of us will be to simply ignore or even delete
the other groups.

Well said, Dee. And what a simple solution it is.

Two vote for the solution that doesn't satisfy the first's objection.
The desire to be cloaked in passive comfort to the neglect of others
is the dawn of the abuse of autocracy. Who will moderate the
moderators when it requires an active role from the majority?

A simpler solution that requires initiative has been offered already
and it satisfies all comments, observations, and complaints. Failure
to take care of yourself will always allow the problem to flourish.

The simple fact of the matter is that gated communities where
originally called ghettos. The negative connotation was from the best
of intentions eventually being led to abandonment and poverty within
the confine.
