As a person not playing circus everyday with these words, i agree my 
mistake in usage. I meant modernity.

It is a understandable common mistake as you missspelled wikipedia as 
wikia here. Wikipedia is the Free Knowledge,not for profit, encyclopedia 
and wikia is for porofit company by Jimmy wales, One of the founders of 
Wikipedia

I like to slightly rearrange your definition to moderation,otherwise it 
called action to prevent cyber crime.

Moderation is called for when someone's intervention makes a 
manipulative use of media or some specific feature of digital 
technology. This is not comprehensive and needs to be supported by a 
clear definition of conditions for material adequacy.

Here the media is greenyouth, which is an activist support list. 
"Manipulative use of the media" here is the context of hijacking people 
struggle in athirappilly to "sugatakumari & her moral correctness"
"Manipulative use of Some specific feature of Digital Technology" here 
is  ( which I found after moderation) flooding the list& manipulating 
discussions  with the power of internet access.

Moderation is a way to create constructive discussion. It is not a cyber 
crime management technique. I feel you have a misconception about after 
moderating rajeendar,

I hope it is clear for you now

It is mentioned in various posts in the  list itself. All changes in the 
policy is also announced. But since we have a lot of new members now, 
who are unaware about the list policy, we will publish it soon. 
Greenyouth eats most of the time now. I need little more time now
