Nice try Geordan, but I refuse to be responsible :D Just like any other area
in lugnet, this is a community-based (and policed, for that matter, outside of
those rare instances necessitating admin involvement) newgroup. I don't make
decisions, though I might try to occasionally act as a catalyst for feeling out
the group. Ideally, decisions of this nature are all group-consensus ones.
The original charter (which was necessarily trimmed down significantly) was
written as follows:
lugnet.build.military - Military Mania: building (models, creations,
layouts, settings, contexts, characters, projects, plans, tools, tips,
tricks, etc.); inspiration (settings, references, challenges, projects,
ideas, movies, books, literature, magazines, music, etc.); themes
(historical, nonfictional, plausible); discussion (history, theory,
strategies, tactics, realism, accuracy, development, historic context,
etc., as they relate to LEGO)
Obviously, this is pretty open and inclusive. I guess my original conception
was that the newsgroup be limited to "historical, nonfictional, and/or
plausible". Specifically, that would allow for MOCs that might have been, but
weren't, for one reason or another. So Marc Cook's Destroyer/Sub-chaser, while
not technically representative of a real ship, is certainly appropriate to the
theme.
99.9 + % of the time, inappropriate posts won't even be an issue. These
newsgroups are effectively self-regulating, and people often redirect threads
that have strayed (or are mispalced) into the correct venue anyway.
I say go with your gut - if it seems to fit, it's probably okay.
The group is also open-ended enough to allow for ancient military threads as
well; roman troops/equipment, siege weapons, egyptian warchariots, etc. are all
appropriate to this group.

I agree :)

Like I said, I have no more clout here than anyone else ... group consensus
should be the goal, IMHO. I'll keep tabs on the links and such, but I don't
envision having any more power than that :D
