From: utzoo!decvax!cwruecmp!pearlmut Newsgroups: net.jokes,net.news.group Title: Proposed Newsgroup Article-I.D.: cwruecmp.383 Posted: Mon Jan 10 20:23:34 1983 Received: Tue Jan 11 01:59:19 1983 I propose that we create net.worthwhile, a newsgroup for only articles worth reading. I believe that the only way to handle it would be with a moderator, and I propose the following scheme (although others are certainly possible, such as regional moderators, or newsgroup set moderators. I am sure there will be some worthless articles flaming about why newsgroup set moderating is better that chronological, but it should not be posted to net.worthwhile, as some people have better things to do than ignore such trash). I would like to set up a moderation schedule in which moderators are responsible for a couple days worth of netnews, on a rotating basis. As a flame retardant, please note that this would increase the load on the net by only a very very very small amount. Barak Pearlmutter ...decvax!cwruecmp!pearlmut
