- I do *not* believe that this idea will work, Doug. If you appoint only a
- small number of moderators, then there will be a large probability of many
- non-flaming articles getting rejected because the message happens to arrive
- in the mailbox of a moderator who just happens to disagree...
-
- But, if there are many moderators, the disorganisation will be ridiculous!
-
- Besides which, the question of whom to appoint, is a *major* issue. But
- even *if* the people who are picked, are objective, there will be huge
- amounts of controversy because people will *always* be doubting the
- objectivity of the moderators.
-
- If the idea *can* be made to work, then I make the following suggestion -
- that the moderators *not* be permitted to post in the newsgroup, and that
- they be especially prudent when posting to t.a. and/or a.a.i., ie., avoiding
- the temptation to flame.
