The Usenet model of moderated and unmoderated discussion groups works
out pretty well; it seems that many people are irked by percieved moderator
abuse, but not enough to deal with unmoderated garbage, and many people
are irked by unmoderated garbage, but not enough to institute moderators.
There are a lot of reasons why, socially, percieved abuse tends to get way
out of hand, but that's probably outside the scope of this discussion.

Generally I think of a "moderator" as someone who approves or rejects
posts before they appear publicly. A Picospan/Backtalk fairwitness
doesn't have that ability.

Usenet has different scaling issues, and different social problems.

Marcus: We're in complete agreement here. I re-read my post, and
realised that it might be construed as criticism; it wasn't meant to be
criticism, but rather a comment about a system that worked well for its'
niche.

Do you expect these morons to actually have anything useful to say except for
the vain babbling that takes place here? These shitdick asshats should be
confined to agora. Thier senseless rambling is best posted here.
