Current Big-8 Moderated Groups with no moderator

[Jason Evans]

If you're interested in moderating a newsgroup and you've never done it
before, take a look at Russ Allbery's Pitfalls of Newsgroups Moderation.
=> https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/faqs/mod-pitfalls.html

If you have moderated before, you already have access to moderation
software and a Usenet server that will allow you to send moderated
messages AND you want to moderate another one, then please email us at
bo...@big-8.org.

Jason, there is no point in re-assigning moderation duties UNLESS the
volunteer moderator is willing to present a small team AND a moderator
succession policy. For decades, it's been made all too clear that one
moderator working all by himself is a single point of failure that will
inevitably lead to the group becoming unusable.

You should include the alt.* groups as well although there's no
legitimate way to re-assign moderators. Making the list all inclusive
might dissuade any future proponent from suggesting moderation.

Talk about violating naming conventions

This group failed? I thought it was well used.

Oh gawd, this was another one of those trollish proposals like the
moderated groups for the socmen and pondscum that was a total
embarassment for the hierarchy administrators. I think this actually
happened AFTER news.groups.moderated was started but Peter J. Ross will
remember better.

The loneliness newsgroup lacks a moderator? That's ironic.

And then when the group becomes unusable, Kerman the German will oppose
and criticize any and all attempts to make it usable again. He is Mr.
"adjourne sina dia."

Typical Kerman the German bureaucracy. "If you can't do it perfectly
with forever guarantees, you should sit on your hands and do nothing at
all, but do demonstrate your technical and historical knowledge while
doing nothing." Don't move forward. Just explain why everybody and
nobody and even Parzival should do nothing, and stick to that position
like a tap root.

However Kerman's suggestion that the Big Eight should meddle with the
alt.* hierarchy will only cause more friction and confusion. This is a
German paper-pusher's dream!

Of course there is no legitimate way to re-assign moderators. It's ad
hoc, impromptu, "let's all figure it out together" kind of system.
Different server operators can do different things, or agree to do the
same things with management of a group in the alt.* hierarchy.

The ad-hoc system works great on Mastodon and ActivityPub systems.
Millions of people are using these systems now without Kerman the
German's sage lordship telling them a festering problem is better than
an imperfect solution.

We don't need Newszatsgruppen Bambi Ding Dongs or News Waffen Yes Yes
men stepping in to call the shots. Kerman the German is trying to play
you for suckers. He is staging a "binARYAN BITzkrieg" to pwn all your
binary.

Herr Kerman is stealthily trying to convert you into his vassal.
