This is  a subtle but important obfuscation.  Few going to find a
complaint that it "it should never happen" convincing - moderation is a
voluntary service.   As long as it only happens every now and again,
and particular posters are not unfairly affected your complaint is
unlikely to gain much sympathy.  At least a few instances affecting
particular poster(s) would be valuable.

It does seem that a commoner event is an answer that for some reason
fails to satisfy, and also a failure of the moderators to get involved
in prolonged discussion.  But, quite reasonably, the RFD does not
address this problem.

My news client failed to notice the addition of a group, for some
reason.  Must find out about its cross posting behaviour.
