What value will a moderator bring to MUFFIN?
Whatever is needed.
This echo, for the last 10 years has not needed a moderator.
It is fine the way it is ie. unmoderated.
Minimally is more accurate. And hopefully that is enough.
That result is due to the natural obsolescence of BBSes.
The only thing a moderator will add are those stupid
periodic notices stating rules and etiquette that
NOBODY wants to see.
If one follows some echo that has them, and one doesn't
want to see them, the simple solution would be to
ignore them. Should that be too much trouble,then one
would be better off to ignore a whole echo that one
finds irksome.]
What you described could be applied to spam or trollers.
But those useless echo rules notifications serve nothing but to clutter
an echo and make it difficult to search for real new
mail. People who use an echo should not have to waste
their time and put more effort and energy into
searching and discerning relevant messages.
I've seen the effect of the disgusting pollution that
"Echo Rules" has caused in the BINK echo. I doubt
anybody would like the same shocking effect in MUFFIN.
This echo has no need for a moderator. It has been self-regulating and civilised for the last 10 (and more) years.
You have your opinion. Others, including me, have their own.
You've expressed yours. And that's the end of that.
The echo is for discussion of Maximus, not the moderation of the
echo.

I'm reading messages with synchronet... seems fine
On the other hand, the Maximus author, Scott Dudley,
disappared off the face of the earth (I don't blame
him). There's now only a half-arsed intermittently
commited ragtag user group left for Maximus.
Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated! I do admit,
though, that I am surprised that people are still using something
that I started 20 years ago. (Frankly, I'm also surprised that it
still works.)
Thanks for the vote of confidence!
PS: If you ever have trouble finding a home for one of those
shitloads of money, I'm sure that I could give you some pointers...

thank you for this, joe ;)
Hey, I'm older than you are - I get first dibs! :-)

This echo is abandoned and someone should contact the
appropriate "authorities" to assume moderatorship over
it. If you're not a FidoNet SysOp and don't have a
Node number, IMHO, don't bother applying.
Crawling out of the woodwork.
Where have you been hiding? ;-)

It's like a Beagle from Volkswagen. ...
Dieter,

Beagle? I heard that a snail bought a VW bea*** but
before he would buy it he made them take the emblem
off and put on a snail emblem! They did it but asked,
"Why?" He said, "I just want everyone to know that
escargo!"
RMSI> Get Synchronet and dump Maximus. Synch has BUILT-IN
RMSI> fossil support. No fossil
RMSI> driver needed :-)
Just because it's built-in doesn't mean it's better.
NetFoss is better than the Synchronet fossil.
