MODERATOR VACANCY INVESTIGATION (MVI)
moderated group comp.lang.pascal.delphi.announce

This is a formal Moderator Vacancy Investigation (MVI), begun because
moderated newsgroup comp.lang.pascal.delphi.announce is not functioning,
and may have been abandoned by its moderator(s).

This investigation will attempt to verify the reasons for non-function,
and may result in the removal of the group or the selection and instal-
lation of a new moderator. In practice, the Big-8 Management Board
considers the third alternative--changing the status of the group from
moderated to unmoderated--as likely to cause more harm than good.

RATIONALE:

Probe posts showed no result. According to Google's archive the last
regular post was approved on 2006-08-16.

NEWSGROUPS LINE:

comp.lang.pascal.delphi.announce Delphi related announcements. (Moderated)

DISTRIBUTION:

CHARTER OF COMP.LANG.PASCAL.DELPHI.ANNOUNCE

A moderated newsgroup for the posting of announcements and information
relating to Borland Delphi. This includes one-shot announcements such
as:

New/revised components, libraries and tools for Delphi
Publication of books and magazines on using Delphi
Web and FTP sites devoted to Delphi
Users-group formation and meetings

In addition periodic postings such as Delphi FAQs, FAQ pointers and
HOWTOs are encouraged.

Among the types of article not appropriate for posting are employment
related announcements or articles containing binaries or significant
amounts of source code. In all cases, follow ups are to be directed
elsewhere in the comp.lang.pascal.delphi.* hierarchy.

The purpose of moderation is to keep the group within its fairly
narrow charter. Follow ups and other general posts are to be rejected
with a pointer to a more suitable group. It is also the moderator's
duty to verify the URLs of Web and FTP sites to confirm that they are
reachable and contain Delphi related material.

HISTORY OF THE GROUP:

comp.lang.pascal.delphi.announce is a moderated newsgroup which passed its
vote for creation by 219:21 as reported in news.announce.newgroups on
12 Apr 1996.

PROPONENT:

Alexander Bartolich <alexander.bartolich@gmx.at>
