Subject: RE: From the moderator
Though I would correct a mis-statement here. CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO is actually
quite lightly moderated. We do moderate all new members until they post
once or twice so that we can keep out the spammers. Once we see that a
person is posting to the group topics they are put on the normal group
status which is unmoderated. We do monitor the group closely and will
step in as soon as we see a discussion heading off topic. Excluding the
spammer posts that are deleted and the member banned immediately I would
guess that we step in and moderate a member maybe 2 or 3 times a year.
Generally happens when emotions get high and good members sort of loose
their head. Once things cool down and the parties involved are thinking
clearly they are brought back to normal unmoderated status.
What we have done is to foster a culture where everyone knows that off
topic is not welcome and because of that the list pretty well polices
itself.
