People shouldn't be doing this.

lugnet.announce was never intended for announcements of new (especially
updates to) MOCs...otherwise the charter would say so.  Perhaps it needs • to
be moderated.  The framework put into place last summer for authentication • of
posts was implemented keeping in mind the future possibility of moderation • on
selected groups if necessary.

MOCs should be unveiled in theme-based groups and/or in more general • groups
such as .build -- with follow-ups set appropriately -- and not in
.announce.

I'm not so sure if I'd want a moderated group, if 'moderation' means
'approved by a live person before getting posted.'  If it means the group is
paid closer attention to by admins and inappropriate posts deleted/edited
and posters warned, that might be better.

What about a lugnet.announce.moc??  This would let people posting MOC
announcements across all themes have a place to put their MOCs up before the
whole community.  The charter for .announce could more forcefully
specifically ban MOC posts and refer MOC posters to the new group.

Lugnet.announce.moc would be great because it would allow us to post all new MOC's together and in their respective newsgroups. Then a person who visits lugnet (...)
