A Product Design Invitation

Guy Macon · 2005-06-02T03:17:47+00:00

I recently took over as the moderator of the newsgroup. It is my intention to make it into a good resource for all aspects of product development.I have set up moderation software and have gotten the group off to aslow start by inviting my buddies over on to participate. I am now ready to invite more users.Here is how the moderation works:Crossposts to one other non-moderated newsgroup are allowed and welcome.That way you can simply keep posting here as you usually do except forcrossposting to instead of just posting to ,I will approve your first post (expect a delay until the next time I log in as moderator - I do this several times per day) and will add most posters to the whitelist so that all future posts from them are autoapproved without delay.All posts will be approved unless they are obviously spam, off-topic,or trolling. If you read the read the thread in m.b.p-d, you will only see posts that are not trolling, flaming, political/religious posts, etc. I will *not* censor posts for content as long as they have at least a marginal connection with product development. Right now is pretty much a dead group, but I am hoping that I can revive it. I can't do it alone, so I am asking for your help.

Well,

The BOFH who own$ the server you happen to get your feed from - or one of the upstream ISP servers that many gets their feeds from - can do pretty much what he bloody well likes. Politicks or no.

Some even pay money for guaranteed unrestricted-by-RIAA-and-Other-Nazi-Derivatives news (complete with mp3's, divx's, warez and all).
