Default Moderators being rather picky?

Quoting Scion :
If you came to the group today, as an unknown, posted two or three replies
and maybe started a new topic, then received a message saying that you
were 'on probation' therefore your posts had been rejected, you would
probably not feel the same.


If that ever happens to a bona-fide new poster, let us know.


It gets worse.

So a new poster turns up, and you look in to the URCM crystal ball and try and
ascertain whether this is a "bon-fide" new poster or a "mala-fide" new poster -
and then take a different action depending on your infallible method and
considered opinion, rather than just moderating the post on its content.

Perhaps ULM should take up this novel approach: it's certainly made URCM a very
successful group.

Please keep this in uk.net.news.moderation, where it belongs; and not in
uk.rec.cycling, where it does not.


Thanks forger.

Certainly it has. There was a long period when it attracted more new
posters than any other uk.* group


Very good: I am sure that you will be able to substantiate this claim in some
way.

Or did you just make it up?

You posted the articles (and the articles here from the sock complaining
about the rejections); count 'em up for yourself.

Interesting - you count multiple personas of one poster as separate
posters?

Oh - so you claim that there was a period when URCM attracted more new posters
than *any* other uk group - but you cannot back up that claim.

I am sure people will understand.

Or was that period something like between 0100 and 0130 on a particular date -
when one new poster posted to URCM - and no new posters posted to any other uk
group?
