<p>Created page with &#039;&lt;pre&gt; From: The Big-8 Management Board &lt;board@big-8.org&gt; Subject: Moderator Vacancy Announcement: soc.religion.christian.youth-work Newsgroups: soc.religion.christian.youth-work,…&#039;</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&lt;pre&gt;<br /> From: The Big-8 Management Board &lt;board@big-8.org&gt;<br /> Subject: Moderator Vacancy Announcement: soc.religion.christian.youth-work<br /> Newsgroups: soc.religion.christian.youth-work, news.announce.newgroups,<br /> news.groups.proposals<br /> Followup-To: news.groups.proposals<br /> Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2007 12:45:43 -0500<br /> Organization: http://www.big-8.org/<br /> <br /> Moderation Vacancy Announcement (MVA)<br /> soc.religion.christian.youth-work<br /> <br /> This is a formal Moderator Vacancy Announcement (MVA), initiated after the<br /> moderator of the above-listed moderated newsgroup has been found to be <br /> absent. The goal of this process is to find a new moderator for the group.<br /> <br /> <br /> RATIONALE: <br /> <br /> Regular approvals stopped in July 2000, though there a single final<br /> approval in October 2000. There was also a stoppage from January 1999<br /> to August 1999. The last moderator of the group has no interest in<br /> the group.<br /> <br /> Possible actions include:<br /> <br /> (1) Revive the group with a new moderator.<br /> <br /> (2) Convert the group to an unmoderated status.<br /> <br /> (3) Remove the group.<br /> <br /> An unmoderated group would likely be susceptible to trolls, or<br /> digression into debate about religious beliefs or doctrine, rather<br /> than focusing on youth work.<br /> <br /> When the group was active, there was an enthusiastic, though somewhat<br /> low volume, of discussion. If there is still interest, there is no<br /> reason to remove the newsgroup.<br /> <br /> If volunteer(s) steps forward, they can be assigned the moderatorship.<br /> <br /> <br /> HISTORY: <br /> <br /> The newsgroup soc.religion.christian.youth-work was created in July<br /> 1994, and was generally active until June 2000, with a stoppage from<br /> January 1999 to August 1999. Traffic volune was around 1 to 2<br /> articles per day, though approvals were often batched.<br /> <br /> <br /> PROCEDURE: <br /> <br /> The Big-8 Management Board has determined that the above listed newsgroup <br /> needs a new moderator, and has decided to proceed with a Moderator Vacancy<br /> Announcement. This process is documented here:<br /> <br /> http://www.big-8.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=policies:mvi<br /> <br /> In short, the Board plans to either appoint a new moderator, unmoderate <br /> the newsgroup, or remove the newsgroup entirely. <br /> <br /> The followup header of this post has been set to news.groups.proposals. <br /> To discuss the issues affecting the group, to propose a new moderator, or<br /> to provide information regarding the current moderator, please respond to<br /> this thread in news.groups.proposals.
