This article is from Brint Cooper <abc@BRL.ARPA> and was received on Thu Sep 4 19:53:09 1986 In a volunteer community such as the Usenet, "moderation" is whatever the Moderator says it is. While that may sound harsh, consider: 1. It's sometimes difficult to obtain a volunteer Moderator. This is the reason that there are still so many unmoderated groups. 2. No one model of Moderator will serve everyone's tastes. If a large number of group contributors dislike a Moderator's style, he/she can step down and let someone try. Or, they can form another group. 3. Each of the moderated groups has a distinct personality which reflects the style of the Moderator. This helps make Usenet interesting. -- Brint Cooper abc@brl.arpa
