We used moderation software that had > a small yearly fee and after a while it wasn't worth keeping it. misc.writing.screenplays went to misc.writing.screenplays.moderated with just one moderation rule, no crossposts allowed. That got rid of the moron who was posting obnoxious and stupid posts while advertising his psychic horse crap. If he couldn't crosspost he wasn't interested in the group. But even mwsm, some of the posters wanted to do more moderation. Until most of the regulars went to Facebook, full moderation never happened. Shortly afterwards they had it. Once, they turned it on. A month or so after full (wait for approval) moderation, the group was basically dead. (No posts got through for the first few months because the one moderator had some kind of medical emergency and wasn't there to approve any posts at all.) Fully moderated newsgroups are a waste of time. Killfiles are the better solution. -- “Evil is not able to create anything new, it can only distort and destroy what has been invented or made by the forces of good.” —J.R.R. Tolkien
