I feel that it may not be enough for some people. Perhaps there should be a
few extra newsgroups like the following:
.off-topic.copyright.abuse and .copyright.abuse.laws
For those people that seem to insist on flaming someone and bringing an
unwanted topic to a newsgroup it absolutely does not belong in:
.off-topic.clueless.flame (Eric should be allowed to post here - although
getting booted out of the rest of LUGNET should be mandatory for the
duration of a ban of a user sent here.)
As well as a "cool-down" discussion group for the above one - hey I'm sure
even the flamers would like to cool off somewhere:
.off-topic.clueless.flame.cooler
And for the roleplayers gone awry a "jabba-the-hut" style of pleading
newsgroup, just for them:
.off-topic.jabba-the-hutt.pleas-for-mercy
Well, okay, the last is a shameless rip-off of a line out of Star Wars
Episode VI. ;-)
I hope these newsgroups are not frequented by many in the forseeable future.
But I do not wish to see further pollution of newsgroups by excessively
off-topic stuff.
Cheers ...
