Our institution has reached the point of setting policies for
determining List creation criteria and operational standards. I
am concerned because the participants in this decision process are
working without having any personal experience with discussion
groups. Most disturbing to me is the voiced intent to establish
any/all Lists as moderated. I find this highly paranoid, unreasonable
and too restrictive.
I am very interested in your thoughts. Is it common practice to force
lists into a moderated status? Can you share some of the general
guidelines you use when determining which lists to allow and which
to deny? Any requirements by which the List-Owner must abide?
Thanks for any info.
