I have been following the discussion on moderation with interest. Jim
White and I comoderate the symbiosis list so I can contribute some
toward answering a few questions.
RESTRICTIONS ON POSTING
We both take a broad view of what is appropriate and post things which
even skirt the edges of symbiosis.
We both automatically kill stuff that is porn or commercial spam. In a
small group like ours, this can represent 50% of what comes in. We
havent started to get the "authors wanted" crap here yet but we will :-(
If we think that something is off topic but appropriate to another
group, we advise the poster of the better group.
A group can have co moderators but they take turns rather than do it at
the same time. For example, I do odd months and Jim does even. You
could use other schemes, but a regular timetable makes it easier on the
system administrators because they can run the moderator change software
automatically rather than by hand.
Hope this helps.
