Messages posted to the IHPVA lists are only checked by a moderator if they are from non-subscribers.
Spammers and other miscreants are unsubscribed at the discretion of the list owner, however.

What fun would that be? ;)

I do a bit more than that. I also lock threads when things get way off topic or people start to get
abbusive. I also issue a lot of warnings. You'd be amazed at the amount of time I spend dealing with
the board and its many issues. It is a good place though.

Not for us with "capillary straw" [1] dial up connections, however. :(

Of course, I NEVER participate in OT flame wars. ;)

[1] At times my connection speed is less than 1 kilobyte/second.

I have considered doing a Yahoo Newsgroup for the seriously bent who have crossed over to
Power-Assists, but I am so very busy now that I have no time free. Truly nice how many bent cyclists
I have seen posting here over the years have gone to ICE & E-Motors.

I'm wondering if you tried it lately. When we had a picture in the background it loaded very slowly.
It's much better now. No more time consuming than cnn.com or something like that.

Looks to me like the issue isn't the presence of a moderater. Often the damage is done by the time
the moderater steps in. The problem is the internet. People behave badly because of the anonyminity
and remove. They say things they wouldn't say face to face.

If you read this board on a web page like google or cycling forums, you can do your own moderating.
You can usually tell from the subject line/author which threads to ignore.

I subscribed to Cycling Forums last week and found it way too Un-bent.

As for people saying things in a Newsgroup they would not say face to face. Guess I am the exception
there, I write the way I speak, only difference is that On-line no one sees me pulling my foot out
of my mouth.

I almost became the moderator of a IHPV Group, but I figured the moment I became moderator would be
the moment everyone unsubcribed.
