Thanks to Dave Aronson for some ideas here:

Proposed guidelines for moderation of proposed newsgroup
"dc.general.moderated"

The purpose of dc.general.moderated is to provide a forum for
discussion of items of general interest specific to the 
Washington, DC, Metropolitan area, in an atmosphere free
of excessive cross-posts.

The intent is to robo-moderate the group using the following
criteria:

Any acceptable message must have: 

  - No more than 4 newsgroups total 
	(should weed out a lot of spam)
  - No *.general other than dc, va, md, balt, pg, mont, or wv 
	(amendable if other local hierarchies appear)
  - Posted to no other dc.* groups 
	(if it's not of general interest, why post it here ??)
  - Not be cross-posted to alt.test
	(to stop the occaisional net.joker)

Any message that does not meet the criteria will be robomoderated.

Changes to bot moderation policy must be approved by the current 
administrator(s) of the dc.hierarchy

OK, there's draft two.   I honestly did not want to do a "takeover",
I just had the idea that maybe we ought to try to conserve some 
bandwidth....  if anyone ELSE remembers the concept of bandwidth
conservation.
