Not only do most people object to allowing this - but the only people I've
seen who are for it are potential *sellers*, not buyers.
Furthermore, this goes against what Todd said:
"It was never the intention for the welcoming to occur by any
means other than newsgroup charters. (In other words, the participants in
a given newsgroup cannot just get together all of a sudden and decide that
auction spam is welcome in that newsgroup.)"
ref: http://www.lugnet.com/admin/general/?n=4885
Auction posts of any kind are not welcome in theme groups, and by changing
this, even slightly, you'll cause even more grey areas then are now. Your
suggested rules and restrictions will be very easy to go around (intentionally
or otherwise) and will cause even more confusion and friction than there is
now.
I don't see any reason for changing the theme groups' charter. In your
original post, Scott, you did not give one reason for this. Why would we want
this? If you have reasons, please mention them. Right now, I can't figure out
any good things coming out of this other than the benefits of private auction
sellers.
(This is not intended to flame or 'knee-jerk' - I just want to now what good
will this do.)
