Back in January, the Big-8 Management Board have initiated [1]
a discussion on the removal of moderated newsgroups that
currently have no moderator, and are hence unusable. One of
such groups is rec.photo.moderated . In March, I've

volunteered

(see References:) to take over its moderation.

The group's creation RfD, including its charter, is at [2].

Like I've mentioned, I've never had much interest in moderated
newsgroups before, much less been a moderator of one, so I

can't

promise smooth operation, especially right from the start.

And regardless, I'd prefer not doing the thing entirely on my
own; anyone here interested in taking part, perchance?

My plan is to set up message submission email addresses aliased
to my own mailbox, and approve (or not approve) them from

there.

Should there ever be any co-moderators, I'd move submissions to
a password-protected portion of an https: website and provide
an HTTP/1-based API (usable with curl(1) and compatible with
Lynx, naturally) to approve the messages there.

The group's charter [2] has the following bit:

rpm> Postings must bear the submitter's real name and contain a
valid rpm> reply address.

I don't find the 'real name' requirement /enforceable/ (we
don't have photo IDs on Usenet, after all.) In its stead,
I'm going to require a /consistent/ identity. In particular,
those who publish their photos under an alias are free to use
that same alias for their r.p.m postings.

Having a valid reply address (From: or Reply-To:) wouldn't
be a strict requirement, either, but without the means of
contacting the poster, I wouldn't be able to explain my
reasons for rejecting their article.

JFTR, I'm a lifelong personal computing amateur, but my
interest in photography is relatively recent. /Some/ of my
photographs (among other media) can be found at [3]. As can
be seen, my primary camera (body) is Pentax K-5.

Thoughts?

*Good luck with your group*, Ivan! 🙂

Cross-posted to my friends in ACW

Someone there may wish to help you.

I wonder how ACW would be different if it was moderated.

You wouldn't be allowed to troll here in ACW snit.
Nobody likes you.
Nobody wants you posting here.
People wish you would simply go away.

Carroll:

* Lied about me stalking my ex wife
* Lied about me having a restraining order
* Lied about me going against this restraining order
* Lied about me entering a plea bargain
* Lied about me having a dozen or so charges on the .gov site
* Claimed to use the site as a part of his harassment
* Threatened publicly to contact my employer and do arm twisting to
get them to see his way
* Repeatedly brought up my clients in his trolling and doxing
* Carroll accused me of raping ebot and others
