Scratch all that!

It is quicker and easier for all involved if users must perform a
one-tim
e
registration post (in which their e-mail address, posting handle, and
NSP are recorded, though if a posting handle is used the e-mail
address is no
t
published.) The registration is manually validated by a moderator who
approves all registrations. After registration approval, when the
user posts, the NSP and posting handle are automatically checked
against the record list and the post is approved if a record is
found.

Pros:
No delay in postings.
No extra work for moderators.
No easy nym-shifting by malevolent posters.

Cons:
De-registration for abuse can only occur after-the-fact.

Well let me ask you this Jim, what would be your
criteria for acceptable posts?

The above proposal doesn't screen posts - merely requires registration in
order for posters to post. Since performing any sort of "due process" prior
to unregistering a poster is a hassle, a poster would have to engage in
some egregious behavior to find themselves unregistered.

In your case, the person who is currently posting using multiple 'nyms from
multiple NSPs would be unable to do that under the proposed scheme. And
would have been unregistered by me had their posts appeared in such a
moderated group. So you'd benefit there.

On the other hand, the thread that you started on this group that contained
the personal insult in the subject line "Jim Pennino or...Jim Pinheado?"
would have resulted in your deregistration in any group I was moderating.
So you'd have a reason not to join.

Actually you may be on to something here with this idea. It's
sounding do-able.

In your case, the person who is currently posting using multiple 'nyms from
multiple NSPs would be unable to do that under the proposed scheme. And
would have been unregistered by me had their posts appeared in such a

I'll join.

Not only do I very much regret that, just thinking about it
is probably hurting me far more than it may, or may not
have annoyed him. He didn't deserve it. Live and learn.

It might work, but don't count on it. Here at MW, the subject of a
moderated newsgroup came up during troll attacks. Eventually such a
group, misc.writing.moderated , was formed, but it never got more than
a couple of posts a week. Everyone stayed in the sick circus that MW
eventually became.

Well shiver me timbers! If it isn't the most highly distinguished
author/genius/inventor/scientist that I've ever know. All I can say
is DB has spoken...and there is no further need for study.

Everyone stayed in the sick circus that MW
eventually became.

Oh, now you tell me, *after* I checked into a room at the MW
motel! I'm still afraid to take a shower.
