Andy,
 
But, see... the self-regulating process by group members regards off-topic posts  works best if the person sending the off-topic stuff picks up on how the group feels about his posts and decides he would rather not continue to piss people off (and possibly get placed on their blocked sender's list). Or, worse, just have his future posts completely ignored. Either way, the person who really goes overboard with off-topic posts on a regular basis eventually finds himself ostracized. Eventually he drop out of the forum. This works in both email lists like MOPO and bulletin board-based forums (although it might take longer for the ostracizing effect to occur on a bulletin board, but it would still happen).

Simple rules:

If about movie posters and it annoys you ---don't read it   just  delete it

If about something else------don't write it, write it somewhere else

I hope I made it easier for you to comprehend
