I'd like to continue a discussion regarding the need for a moderator
in alt.fan.samantha-fox

STEP ONE: We must determine the need.

STEP TWO: We should investigate who we want to appoint as the new
          moderator and associated technical processes.
===

With all of the SPAM messages appearing in there, as well as all of the
other un-related sex messages in there (ie: pics of girls other than
Samantha), we SHOULD get a moderator to screen out these unrelated posts.

Infact, even the Samantha Fox Fan Club is not happy with the content that
they see in there.

I'd like to see a more organized Samantha Fox newsgroup.  This newsgroup
is automatically listed on the "cross-post" list of many spammers who
haven't EVEN SEEN this newsgroup.  They just see the name of the
newsgroup and figure "oh, that must be the porn star SamFox".

That is what a newsgroup TOPIC is suppose to clarify but many spammers
don't take the time to find out what group they are posting in.

Even if a newsgroup "sounds" remotely like where the spammer's target
audience would be - then they crosspost to that newsgroup.

IT IS TIME THAT ALT.FAN.SAMANTHA-FOX GET A MODERATOR!

** When I created this newsgroup back in January 1995, I had the option
   of creating a moderated newsgroup.  I didn't at that time because I
   did not have the time to be dedicated full time to the job of
   screening posts (I also gave people the benefit of the doubt figuring
   that a moderator was unnecessary).

   I hope that we can find a suitable moderator amongst us to take over
   this new responsibility.  If we can find one, then I will help to
   convert alt.fan.samantha-fox to a moderated newsgroup if it is possible.

   If you are interested, please send e-mail to ap296@pz.com
