REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)<br />
remove rec.games.online.mmorpg.world-of-warcraft<br />
<br />
This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) to remove the unmoderated<br />
newsgroup rec.games.online.mmorpg.world-of-warcraft.<br />
<br />
<br />
RATIONALE: remove rec.games.online.mmorpg.world-of-warcraft<br />
<br />
This newsgroup was created as part of a trial "bulk creation" newsgroup<br />
creation process, in which "obvious" newsgroups were created without<br />
specific proponents or charters. Subsequent to the group's creation, it<br />
was discovered that an active group, alt.games.warcraft, already exists<br />
for this topic. In order to prevent fragmention of the Usenet WOW<br />
community, I propose that the newly-created<br />
rec.games.online.mmorpg.world-of-warcraft be removed before it's widely<br />
propagated and established.<br />
<br />
<br />
HISTORY:<br />
<br />
The newgroup was issued on Monday, October 8, 2007.<br />
<br />
<br />
CHARTER:<br />
<br />
The newsgroup line is:<br />
<br />
rec.games.online.mmorpg.world-of-warcraft World of Warcraft<br />
<br />
This group has no official charter.<br />
<br />
<br />
PROCEDURE: <br />
<br />
The full group removal procedure is documented here:<br />
<br />
http://www.big-8.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=policies:rmgroup<br />
<br />
Those who wish to comment on this request to remove this newsgroup should<br />
subscribe to news.groups.proposals and participate in the relevant threads <br />
in that newsgroup.<br />
<br />
To this end, the followup header of this RFD has been set to <br />
news.groups.proposals.<br />
<br />
All discussion of active proposals should be posted to news.groups.proposals.<br />
<br />
If desired by the readership of closely affected groups, the discussion<br />
may be crossposted to those groups, but care must be taken to ensure that<br />
all discussion appears in news.groups.proposals as well.<br />
<br />
