Does anyone moderate this board?
There's a lot of good sharing going on here, but the volume of Get Rich/Get
Horny/Get Virus postings is very annoying. Not that this is unique to this newsgroup. Is there some overseeing presence that can delete these annoying posts? |

Alt.autos.hyundai is an unmoderated Usenet group but I assure you each and every one of the off topic posts are reported to the appropriate authorities. |

Usenet is a distributed organization composed of everyone who runs a newsswerver, and not every news admin hates spam. Some of them don't care, some of them are too overworked to care, some unscrupulous admins make money off spam.

The web-based forums at http://newtiburon.com/ are moderated, but that doesn't stop the forum denizens from behaving like illiterate idiots. Not too much spam there, but the user interface is a total PITA. FWIW, the only time I see spam on alt.autos.hyundai is when well-meaning people follow up to spam and quote the spam. The admin at news.cis.dfn.de is doing his job of culling all messages with a Breidbart Index that's too high or messages that contain the Microsoft Worm-O-The-Week, and I thank him for it. -- Matt G|There is no Darkness in eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see The early bird who catches the worm works for someone who comes in late and owns the worm farm. --Travis McGee Hire me! http://crow202.dyndns.org/~mhgraham/resume/ |

Yeah, I like the old forums at NT. The new forum GUI is ugly and
doesn't load correctly half the time.
