I just spent what felt like an eternity flipping through all kinds of flames,
ideas-wanted, bs and whatnot in the 'general' newsgroup. The whole idea of
having different newsgroups becomes pointless unless people learn to use them
in a proper manner. I know I am not the only one frustrated about this.
Therefore I suggest, as probably many before me, that efforts be taken to
reduce the amount of newsarticles published under the wrong newsgroup.

Thank you!
Shouldn't that have been posted to flame??

Flame flame!

More of a response to Uqualin than what's his name... But.. Would
moderators do the trick?

IE: players with the power to impose temporary bans and, more
importantly, move what group posts are in. Or something. Yeah.

Oh, I imagine they could only touch certain groups, like not BS or Flame.

Use ratings, if an ideas-wanted post gets a -20 rating, it moves to bs! muah!
