There must be something we can do to keep this NG alive.

A strict filtering regimin to eliminate Krause and any one else who
exhibits similar behavior could work.

Would anyone like to share any ideas to fix this NG? We could conference
over at Chucks via PM if he will allow it. Or maybe we could do it via
email.



A strictly adhered to filter regiment might work, but many, including me,
get sucked back into discussions by quoted references. I am willing to try
to totally ignore, if that is the consensus.

My concern, in the case of Harry, is that if he runs out of people to insult
or listen to his politics, he would just crosspost in an attempt to
encourage and draw in new blood. Hell, he has already acknowledged that.

I've had him filtered for a couple of weeks but I still see his crap in
90% of the posts here. We have to do something to get rid of him or
there will never be peace here.

We can. It almost happened before when the ones of us left completely
ignored him. We could do it again but then he gets crazy and makes
some sock puppets or a thinly veiled troll having to do with boats.. I
say everyone should have one respons to anything he says, a dot and
the words screw off. No matter what he says... Shun anybody stupid
enough to engage him, and just let him go...

I would suggest forgetting even the Chucky dots or *any* comment.
To use them acknowledges presence of the offending poster.

Gene's algorithm obviously does not fix the problem. It is a great idea,
intended to eliminate OT, but it obviously has holes.

One of the historical issues is that "rec.boats" does not have a charter to
fall back upon as a reference for conformity of topic or conduct. It's the
original boating newsgroup and was started without benefit of a published
charter. There is an old "FAQ" list, but no official charter.

This is not to say that a charter guaranties civility or even helps, but
"rec.boats" lacks a reference for conduct.

The problem is not unique to rec.boats however. Virtually all of the
unmoderated NGs I've read suffer from the same problems prevalent here. It
seems like every one has it's own "Harry".

This is really funny. As a boating newsgroup, this place is almost stone
dead. Yet I am the only one who seems to acknowledge that.

If you want a boating newsgroup (and I don't mean you personally), then
make it one.

If it isn't a boating newsgroup, and it isn't, then why whine about
off-topic posts, or even posters from outside the newsgroup?

Why aren't you whining about the non-boating posters? It's ok for them
to post whatever they please because...because why? Why do you tolerate
and encourage non-boating posters like Reggie, BAR, DK, Loogy, et al,
posters who are here only to insult other posters, and never really
discuss their own boats?

There's no question that JustWait sets the perfect intellectual tone for
this newsgroup.

But I might spell it wrong But it's done, anyone else in?

I just have him filtered... it's easier. I don't understand why everyone
else doesn't do the same. Even when you respond with your disclaimer, harry
*knows* he's getting attention. That's the problem... he thrives on it
postitive or negative.
