Need for Creating a Safe Discussion Group

[Guest guest]

Hi Janet, Trish, et. al.,

 

This scanning approach would work well if people routinely updated subject

lines to reflect the actual content of their posts. Unfortunately ...

 

Regarding moderation, this (Raw Food) group has repeatedly been the location

of all sorts of flaming. The recent round with Laurie Forti was one of the

worst, but this has and likely will recur, since there is no active

moderation. In fairness to the moderators/owner of this list, there is some

problem accessing the account, which they are attempting to get to

fix. If cannot or will not, then honestly I'll probably just start

using the Going Raw group, as it's only a matter of time before all heck

breaks loose in any large, unmoderated group.

 

Best,

Elchanan

Hi Trish,

 

Do you have your groups set to digest? That might help. I often scan

for topics I'm interested in, and only read those messages.

 

Regarding the two groups, I think as long as people self-moderate

themselves, both of the groups will be fruitful. However, experience

tells me that eventually someone will come along...
