Just one, I can count at least 3 major abusers you should
have blocked.
Ed Conrad
Jabriol
David Sienkiewicz.
If instead of blocking xposts to groups you simply blocked
these three from xposting you would solve a majority of the
xposting behabviors in the group. Personally, you have been very slow in dealing with David
S, a person who was repeating what Jabriol was saying when
moderation did not go his way. If you could have just slowed
down David S xposting, 3 intergroup wars might have been
avoided. Alternatively pay attention to developing wars and
when you see them insists of one-group followups. The second you see Ed Conrad post
"Lets see where were we" you know damn well what is coming
next and you know damn well that for at least the first two
weeks only a low percentage of talk.origin regs will bother
the check the ng line. Rather than we dance this dance over
again, grab Ed by the ear and yank him out of the pattern,
as soon as he knows his xpost are blocked he will move on to
less fertile ground.
