Only the list owner can add new moderators.

For whatever it may be worth, I really think the best thing would be to have
new moderators on this list, rather than fragmenting the community. I know that
is not a new idea as several have mentioned the same idea. I also don't agree
with the wild West approach. I'm sorry. But when you send email to a list of
several hundred people, you are coming into their homes. And you did not have a
right to abuse that privilege. Nor should several hundred people be expected to
write filtersbecause of one or two outliers who make itunpleasant for
everybody. If a list is said to be moderated, people who signed up for that
list have a right to expect that the rules will be followed and that those who
do not follow them consistently will be taken off the list. If you like
unmoderated lists, start one, or, if you want to check one out, go check out
the eyes freelist. The last time I was on there, which was admittedly many
months ago, it was horrible. I'm not arguing for one strike and you're ou
t or heavy-handed moderation. But when it becomes clear overtime that a few
people simply cannot follow simple guidelines, then a moderator needs to take
action, or a new moderator needs to be found. So, I guess I'm joining my voice
with the chorus of those who say that in the best of all worlds, this list
would remain but would have an active moderator who did his or her job.

Hello Scott,
There's a vast difference in overly moderating and moderating of those
who make the community unpleasant for others. For example, should
someone receive an email cursing at them (which happens here pretty
frequently), the problem gets solved with a moderation. Should it
continue, said individual is removed from the community.
I'm not proposing that overly prolicing makes a difference, just that
it's possible with an active list owner to create a community
conducive to a place where people can ask questions and provide help,
etc. Can you imagine how much cleaner our inboxes would be (I myself
am somewhat at fault here, as I've said) if we were to mostly
elimenate all the side bickering?

I’m not sure moderation = good community. That’s like saying
policing = a good community and I’d dare say the folks of Ferguson
or South Carolina would disagree with that assertion.;)
You bring up a good point I’m just wondering is the tightening of
the rules going to necessarily translate in to better content. It
might but it’s hard to get enough people to switch and keep the
same value when there’s already a critical mass of people here.
Good luck though, as one of my favorite talk radio hosts used to
say before he passed away “that’s why they make chocolate and
vanilla” something for the different viewpoints.

Hello: A lot of people have had numerous problems on this list.
My last response on this list was cursed at and nothing is being
done to stop it. As a result of the spam/cursing/general throwing
of fits, I created a new list where rules can be enforced and we
can have a good community. On 8/26/2015 2:46 AM, 'Gabriele

Hi, sorry but, maybe I lost something. Why a new list? What
is going to happen to this one? Thanks. Gabriel.
