I vote for no moderation. I don't mind reading all that comes through (it
is, after all, a pretty low traffic list). What I don't wish to read I
quickly skim over and hit delete, it's not that hard guys.

As soon as we invite some form of moderation we cut out any chance we have
of lively debate. Just because you don't agree with a point of view does not
mean that the view is wrong. If list members are so concerned with personal
attacks then I'm sure they know the remedies available to them.

Dave Hooper.

]My vote goes to soft moderation of this list - ie: not every email gets
]vetted before being sent to all, but
]a listmom is agreed by members and given the discretion to decide list
]consensus and take appropriate action.

]The listmom should be either an AUDA board member (this is an AUDA list) or
]an independant, objective, respected individual.

]That's enough!
]
]I am on a number of lists where the listmom is strict about off
]topic posts.
]One warning and users are banned. The lists work well and we all don't get
]swamped by pointless messages.
]
]I only contribute on occasion, so I am completely dispensable to this list,
]but either Harry goes or I will unsubscribe and find other places to direct
]my energy. I am sure others feel the same.

]I had earlier this year floated a proposal for a firm.au domain space
]matching ASIC and Department of Fair Trading business name registrations to
]a one to one domain mapping. From my posting to this list I
]received exactly
]one piece of feedback (from a AuDA committee member). No discussion of the
]merits or problems of the idea.
]
]On one hand the idea was written up in The Australian's IT section as a
]novel way forward. On the other, this list is filled with vitriolic and
]pointless email. There appears little interest in examining and discussing
]real ideas. Isn't this list where we should be discussing new ways of
]approaching the old problems?
]
]
]Chris: please post to the list a timeline of planned activity of AuDA. How
]finalised are plans of opening .com.au to competition? I don't know what is
]decided on and what is still up in the air. Do we have dates?
]
]Listmom: please enforce on-topic posts for all our sakes. Please
]be rigorous
]about it.
