The vote for the unmoderated group talk.religion.bahai has just
failed 157:691
But given that there were 157 Yes votes I believe there is sufficient
interest for an alt.* group.
For your newsgroups file:
alt.religion.bahaiBahai faith.
[Adapted from the talk.religion.bahai proposal]
RATIONALE: alt.religion.bahai
All newsgroups and listservs given to the discussion of the Bahai
faith are moderated. A need exists for an unmoderated forum, and this
proposed newsgroup would meet that need.
It is intended that alt.religion.bahai will complement, rather
than supplant, the existing moderated group soc.religion.bahai. The
establishment of unmoderated companion groups is a well-accepted
practice on Usenet.
CHARTER: alt.religion.bahai
All topics or ideas relevant to the Bahai faith -- its history,
teachings, theology -- and so on would be appropriate areas for
discussion.
Crossposting of articles not specifically relevant to the Bahai faith
is strongly discouraged. Also discouraged are personal messages, large
ASCII graphics, special-format files, and any postings of a purely
commercial nature.
Readers are asked not to start or prolong flamewars and excessive
crossposts. Articles may be crossposted to soc.religion.bahai --
subject, of course, to the approval of the moderator of that group.
Readers may also post articles that have been rejected from
soc.religion.bahai, so long as they conform to the charter above.
