Make this one moderated. You need to explore the mechanics of a
moderated group anyway. Do it here where it's relatively less likely to
be controversial. Get someone to moderate it for you.
Seems to me that unless someone else thinks that it is on topic and
funny, it isn't. An unmoderated group will quickly become a slushpile
and a failure. To a lesser extent, that is already happening in .puns,
but that's the charter there, so it's OK, I guess.
A number of these off-topic groups are, in my opinion, likely to dilute
focus of LUGNET(TM) on things LEGO(R) if you let them. This one,
especially so.
