Please<br /> offer any final discussion or comments before the end of this waiting<br /> period. Voting may take up to one week (7 days); a result will be<br /> posted following the end of the voting period.<br /> <br /> All discussion of this proposal should be posted to<br /> news.groups.proposals.<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 /> <br /> RATIONALE: remove soc.religion.shamanism<br /> <br /> As described by Doug Freyburger:<br /> <br /> About a year ago I asked you [Tim] to stop e-mail to the admin<br /> address. There had never been a message to the admin address other<br /> than spam since I started receiving copies. Instead you stopped<br /> posts to the group and left the admin mailing list active. No one<br /> commented to the admin address and to this day there has been no<br /> traffic but spam to the admin address.<br /> <br /> If there had been one non-troll non-spammer message to the admin<br /> address I would have requested that you reactivate the group as that<br /> had been the intent behind my original request. It has not happened<br /> in the last year since the group was turned off.<br /> <br /> The current moderators have agreed that it is not worth salvaging. We<br /> propose to remove the group.<br /> <br /> <br /> HISTORY: <br /> <br /> soc.religion.shamanism was originally created in October 1993. In<br /> January 2007, the moderator position was reassigned to a robo-moderator<br /> run by Tim Skirvin, in consultation with Doug Freyburger and Kevin<br /> Cannon. <br /> <br /> <br /> DISTRIBUTION:<br /> <br /> This document has been posted to the following newsgroups:<br /> <br /> news.announce.newgroups (moderated)<br /> news.groups.proposals (moderated)<br /> soc.religion.shamanism (moderated)<br /> <br /> <br /> PROPONENT: <br /> <br /> Tim Skirvin &lt;tskirvin@killfile.org&gt;<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
