Re: CS>How this group is (not) being run

[Tony Moody]

Hallo Nenah,
 
Yes, I set up https://groups.io/g/silverlist some time ago, tried to contact 
Mike then and received 
no answer. I moved on to other things. 

I am happy to try to technically recover the group at the above site and to do 
basic moderation.  
At present it would mean individuals applying for membership at 
https://groups.io/g/silverlist 
I am trying to load Mikes pages there for continuity.

OK,
Tony Moody

Re: CS>How this group is (not) being run

[S Khanna]

 I have been on this list for many years, since before Mike Devour abandoned 
it. 

While it is a list for discussing colloidal silver, I saw and appreciated very 
much some of the "off topic" things that were discussed. I found many members 
had knowledge that was of help in many health-related issues.

Usually, the OT initials keyed me in, so that I could simply delete it if I 
chose.

So my point is, why not just continue, or send an OT message and then we can 
discuss it elsewhere if it offends?

Thanks,
Sally

Mike Devour abandoned this group years ago, leaving it without a moderator. 
After that--and this is from my memory of awhile back, so I might be missing 
some details or mis-remembering--some members got in touch with him and asked 
him to either return to moderate, or else give them control of the group so 
they could moderate the group themselves. That request was not met. (If anyone 
has something to add or correct, please do so.)

 

This leaves the group without moderation, and without a way to ban or remove 
members.

 

So my question is, how do we fix this? Moving the group so it can be moderated 
is very likely going to cost money. Are members willing to pay for that 
privilege? If so, how much money? (This leads me to the question, *who* is 
paying for the group now? Because eskimo.com is a server, and servers cost 
money.)

 

If the majority of people don't want to donate funds, is there any way to 
separate off-topic people from on-topic people, cyber-wise? Or must we simply 
put "OT" in the subject line so people who don't want to see those posts can 
simply delete them? Of course, the subject line itself generally gives a clue, 
but I *can* understand someone not wanting to have their Inbox cluttered with 
what they consider irrelevant information.

 

So . . . any suggestions (made in a civil tone)?

Re: CS>How this group is (not) being run

[Neville Munn]

Well, here's my two cents worth.  Look, it gets pretty boring here sometimes, 
which happens occasionally, so look at this as a 'stop gap' while there is 
nothing else to discuss at the moment.  This group self regulates/moderates 
from what I have seen, and it does a damn very good job at it, so, that being 
said, don't worry, it WILL return to silver at the end of the day.

If any Off Topic strays too far, it will die a natural death anyway.

OK, not for me to say of course, but there it is, my opinion.

Thanks for your comments. I was not aware of that history. I rarely, if ever 
post here, but i find the CS. Info of great interest,and my involvement goes 
back to the days of BBS's so, quite a long time now. I may have to leave again 
as my resources are quite limited, both physically financially and timewise. 
Love & light to all.
