The moderated group

[every man]

posting by some on the Talk Religion Course-Miracle group. I had to
reinstall Windows and set up newsgroups again. I went looking for the ones
I had (like this one) and also found the version of this that's moderated.
  I tried writing on it (a response) and it never showed up. I just asked
about this, and see if that shows up. Maybe posts have to be approved and
this takes awhile?
   I prefer unmoderated, and that's why I like the newsgroups, there's not
much left online now that's open and free. And if some are what seems like
mean and not into "discussion" we always have the choice to ignore them.
Or argue with them, it doesn't really matter and who knows how someone
else is learning.
  And, overall, it doesn't really matter what "someone else" is doing, I
can only be aware of myself- as in response to it.

  I wrote something asking about it, and it didn't show up.
  It seems like the group is mainly one person posting (and a few others)
Maybe it has to be joined or something?
  Just seems like it should say on it or someone tell me. I'm not big on
groups not open to all. At least give everyone a chance to be part of them.
If they then spam and write mean stuff, etc don't let them on, but wait and
see. I didn't write anything bad on it. Though, overall, not having what I
write show up on it isn't all that bad if I don't want to be part of a group
that's not open to all (or most)  "Exclusive" that is the word I'm thinking
of. Some are worthy and some aren't based on someone's personal opinion
(without even knowing them)

Hi Carrie. When you post to a moderated gorup, your post goes to the
moderator
(sometimes it's a software moderator) and has to be approved before it
appears
on the group.

I wouldn't bother with that group. The NPP (Neo-Pagan-Pact) is the law
on
moderated forums where magick (under any name) is discussed: You have
to pretend to believe all the claims of 'magickal' abilities you see
on them
and others will also pretend to believe yours.

This is especially true of the moderators, whether usenet or mailing
list
or web forum. You are supposed to believe that they have special
powers
just because they can put up a website, which only costs about $80/
year
and could be pulled off by any 10-year old.

The rule is: thou shalt kiss the moderator's ass. (I have personally
tracked
down a couple and beaten the fuck out of them. One was a woman.)

NOTE: These groups are infested with Internet vermin and useless
bookmages with mouths even bigger than their egos. If you
aren't on my list, I won't see your posts. (I only post through
googlegroups, I read from a real newsserver.) Send me a blank
email and I'll send you my real email address eman30890(at)gmail
(dot)com...Put only the alias you use on alt.religion.wicca,
or alt.magick on the subject line. If you don't post on those
groups, put only "Magick" on the Subject line. I will not
be reading your first email. If you make it past this little
filter, I'll put you on my list.

That sounds more confusing than trying to get and keep posts on a moderated
group.
I'm okay with just posting on the groups and those who don't want to see
what I write don't have to.

I post to Unmoderated Groups, and they still vanish!
Worse, is like the April Fools game a few years back, when they altered all my posts!
Can't wait till they try to use My Posts, and I can "PROVE", their NOT MINE!
Won't be long now either, got like 12 Cops gonna testify about me being some Aryan Terrorist which they have had
Numerous encounters with, to prove their Airport isn't Steal our Land in Violation of the 14th Amendment!!
Xtian Fundies think they can circumvent the truth, by fulfilling the Legend!

I guess there is pro and con to everything. Online stuff can be used.
I've noticed on facebook, for example, people use it to try and "get"
someone they are mad at for whatever reason. They set their facebook to
"everyone" so it can be read by all, then write things about people, like
"they are selling drugs in town" (giving names). But, how would the person
writing this know unless they were buying them or know people who are? It's
easy to say stuff online, try and make someone else look bad, "get" someone
they're mad at. Facebook can be good, sharing good things and pictures and
keeping in touch with family and distant friends. But, like other things,
it has the potential for somethning else.
I guess if I didn't give attention to this I wouldn't be aware of it and
(indirectly- by reading it) part of it? Give reality to it.
I have been on moderated groups (not newsgroup format) where my posts
were changed/censored by whoever was in charge. They didn't like something I
said and edited it. Probably did this with others, too. And didn't SAY they
were doing this. They didn't need anyone else on their group, they could
have made up some names and wrote all the posts themselves.
The internet (and groups) brings up a whole lot of stuff we didn't know
about or think about years ago. Unless maybe it was done in newspapers.
I think of the book "1984" the main charactor's job was to go over the
news and change things and remove pictures of people the government had
gotten rid of, so no one could find proof they even existed or the stories
happened the way they had first been told.
people who moderate groups (at least extremely- not just getting rid of
people who outright spam, post porn and off topic stuff and make it hard for
the group to funciton) are caught up in fear and need to control.
I once knew someone with a group she said was unmoderated, and one
person got mad at someone else on it and posted the woman's name, address
and phone number and said "go to her house and (well, whatever)" The person
with the group, who didn't plan to moderate it, removed the posts about this
(but said so and why) That is something I can understand and agree with.
But on most moderated groups you can't even write something about them
being moderated... like "why was my post taken off, I don't understand what
I wrote that was wrong?"
people who moderate groups don't like being questioned about it.

It's kind of interesting, that Talk Religion Course-Miracle, which once
was very active (though not always "kind") has now become basically a place
just to post daily lessons (in iambic pentameter LOL) and ads for radio
shows, etc. The discussions (such as they were) have moved elsewhere. Maybe
by now they are on facebook- which of course can be controlled and
moderated. (I have written things on some of the so-called Course in
Miracles groups on facebook, like Marianne Williamson's like for discussion,
nothing I think is "bad"- or I asked a question aout something and gone back
later and it's gone. I guess Marianne likes to be the main one posting
there, with others responding telling her how wonderful she is and how they
agree with her. Though, I've been told facebook is not meant for
"discussion". Just like brief updates on what you had for breakfast and what
you are planning to do tonight (LOL) anyway, interesting that TRC-M
newsgroup now mainly has anything close to discussion on it when someone
cross posts to it from another group. Like Sidney does and did awhile back.
Though maybe something like ACIM and "spirituality" can't be talked
about in words.
Anyttime I have tried (and over the years) to post something about A
Course in Miracles, like for discussion, it either got ignored or people
told me how and why I am wrong.
I posted one on TRC-M the other day "discussion" (about discussion I
guess...) that no one responded to.
Though, is no response still a response? Like "not answering is an
answer"?
