RFD Link: rec.gambling.poker.moderated

[RichM]

The following link will take you to the Request for Discussion regarding the creation of a new usenet news group. http://tinyurl.com/3g45w

The process of creating a new newsgroup takes about three months, and the first 21 days are the discussion period. The formal discussion takes place at news:news.groups but discussion in the 2+2 forum might be of value as well.

The purpose of rec.gambling.poker.moderated (RGPM) is to create a version of RGP which is spam-free and free of personal attacks. This is not a proposal to moderate the existing group, but rather to create a separate news group for people who do not have the time required to wade through all the RGP content, which is averaging about 700 posts per day.

I have been asked by the newsgroup mentors to publish the RFD link on all existing poker forums, so that users of other forums can get involved in this discussion. Your opinions of this proposal would be highly valued.
