  • What' wrong with rec.radio.amateur.moderated

    From Julian Macassey@21:1/5 to All on Fri Mar 10 08:10:24 2023
    rec.radio.amateur.moderated is a group run by authoritarians
    who think the only suitable posts are announcements, This make the
    group useless. But I suppose they like it that way.

    Have you had any posts rejected? I thought that the main problem with rec.radio.amateur.moderated was that any 'personal' posts usually got
    submerged in all the (mainly USA orientated) announcement clutter -
    hence the need for a moderated NG aimed at the UK. [I have to admit that
    I rarely look at the posts in rec.radio.amateur.moderated. They simply
    come in, sit there for a couple of weeks, then expire unread.]

    One rejected with a Kafkaesque generic response telling
    me that I had failed in some way. Another that just disappeared.

    I wonder if either was rejected by the moderators, or just failed in some technical way??

    Thankfully they are no longer polluting this NG with their BlogSpam.
