I very much doubt moderation of t.o. is decided upon democratically.
If it is, i very much doubt Nashton will gather enough support.
Note: moderating talk.origins is not a political, but only a technical
function, which, by and large, is taken care of by a bot.

This is a most unfortunate mishap but you didn't have to announce it

The webcam shows that he is still there and that this evening's gruel

He can't get out of the ritual circles. I painted them in hard wearing

Well, no, you have to follow the normal RFD process for
changing moderators on a USENET group. I will, however
support you creating the RFD and agree to vote for it.
As I am the current moderator, my support for such an
RFD is more or less needed or it'll get binned, in the
absence of some evidence I have abandoned the group or
the like.
So get cracking on the RFD.

Or how about this
Draft RFD for initial feedback
REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)
moderated group talk.origins
This is a [preliminary] Request for Discussion (RFD) for a change the
moderation policy of talk.origins to change it from a moderated to
an unmoderated newsgroup.
NEWSGROUPS LINE:
talk.origins Evolution versus creationism (sometimes hot!).
RATIONALE:
Moderation of talk.origins was an unusual step for a group
in the talk hierarchy. The original purpose of moderation
was to prevent certain abuses related to cross posting. More
is included in the extracted charter below.
According to the original moderation proposal, a revote
on moderation was to be scheduled. This never happened.
(verification please).
Additionally, beyond the original intent of moderation,
the current moderator of talk.origins has assumed the
authority to block individual posters who have behaved
in a manner deemed detrimental to the newsgroup. While
such behavior may be perceived, by the overwhelming
majority of the participants of talk.origins, to be
rightfully censured, no specific authority to take
these actions for the specified offenses was agreed
to at the time of moderation. The offenses are detailed
in the monthly talk.origins FAQ.
http://newsgroups.derkeiler.com/Archive/Talk/talk.origins/2007-11/msg04065.html
CHARTER:
see http://www.ediacara.org/~to/charter.html for full charter
*****
CHARTER: talk.origins
No copy of the original charter of talk.origins is currently
available. (Apparently a formal charter was never issued.)
The newsgroup talk.origins is meant as a venue for discussion
of the scientific, religious, and political issues pertaining
to various theories of the origins and development of life and
the universe. Within such basic guidelines, wide-ranging discussions
over a large number of topics are covered, all relating back to
the main purpose of the group.
Given the sometimes contentious nature of such discussions,
a moderation policy has been selected to permit unrestricted
discussions, but to limit crossposting to/from talk.origins.
No crossposts to more than three other groups are permitted. No
content-based considerations are to be made in evaluating
articles for the group, only the number of groups crossposted
to. Any article submitted to talk.origins that is posted to
greater than four (4) newsgroups in either the Newsgroups:
or Followup-To: headers shall be returned to the sender
with an explanation of the crosspost policy of the group.
No alteration of either the Newsgroups: or Followup-To:
header is to be performed; either a post passes the
crosspost-limit or is rejected.
*****
{MODERATION POLICY:}
This proposal is to remove moderation of talk.origins
{MODERATOR INFO:}

Didn't you block this guy? I Am and Michael seems to be more
manifestations of Great Dayne, and Tapestry et al. Beats me why he
needs to use multiple accounts even when he is trying to get past the
filters. Could be someone imitating the guy, but how likely is that?

The revote was actually put in place over tale's
more or less statement that he'd ignore it. It
was odd.

So the people who make the rules have decided that people in

making and following rules --- and you find this boggling?
