Barco que mandan muchos pilotos
pronto va a pique [Spanish]
A ship directed by many pilots
soon sinks

There are many issues to consider when moderating information groups such as these:

• What�s the best way to moderate a serious forum?
• Is moderation required at all?
• Does a background in group dynamics help?
• Is the moderation financially rewarding?
• Can anybody replace the moderator when he is incapacitated?
• Why do these issues come up with these groups and not with others?
• Why does the moderator run these groups in the first place?
• Why doesn't he let them run by themselves the way most other groups run?
• Why aren't these groups run like other groups on the Internet?

Most of the other groups on the Internet are not moderated, and some are moderated lightly. It is rare to find groups that have serious moderator intervention, with all of the strict guidelines that we find these groups.

This moderation, and the concomitant guidelines and instructions, involve a great deal of effort on the part of the moderator. Some subscribers justifiably feel that it limits their freedom of expression.

The related links in this section will explain why these groups are moderated, despite all of these questions.
