REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)
moderated group soc.culture.japan.moderated
This is a formal Request For Discussion for the creation of a
moderated group soc.culture.japan.moderated. This is not a Call
For Votes. Do not vote now. Procedural details are at the end of
this document.
Newsgroups Line:
soc.culture.japan.moderated Moderated discussion of Japanese culture. (Moderated)
RATIONALE: soc.culture.japan.moderated
soc.culture.japan (scj) presently receives over 200 posts per
day. Many of these posts are off-topic, and many more are crossposted
flame wars that bring no fruitful discussions and distract the
readership as a whole from the threads that do invite good
discussion. Newsreaders with good killfile mechanisms can reduce the
noise to some extent; however, the speed at which new irrelevant
threads are created in recent days can exhaust even the most prolific
killfile writers.
To help solve this problem, we propose the creation of a new newsgroup
soc.culture.japan.moderated (scjm). Note that this is not an attempt
to moderate scj; scj will remain active and unmoderated after the
creation of scjm.
Because of the high traffic expected in the group, a computer program
will moderate most of the traffic in scjm. The program will reject all
crossposts except to soc.culture.japan and subject all new posters to
human approval; we expect that these measures alone will reduce noise
significantly. The program may reject forward to the moderators those
articles that fall under certain criteria they determine (see
MODERATION POLICY). Those wishing to carry on a cross-discussion with
other newsgroups are still welcome to do so in soc.culture.japan.
CHARTER: soc.culture.japan.moderated
soc.culture.japan.moderated is for discussion of Japanese culture.
Appropriate topics include, but are not limited to:
Living and traveling in Japan; Japanese politics, history, religion,
or current events; and Japanese entertainment (such as anime, manga,
or pop music).
Note: A frequent source of noise in soc.culture.japan is Japan's
involvement in World War II and its consequences. This topic is within
the scope of scjm, and posts on this topic are welcome; however,
posters are encouraged to keep their posts rational and informative.
In addition, moderators will reserve the right to ask the posters to
post summaries of their opinions on a certain thread, and then cut
off the thread for some length of time (on order of two weeks or so).
Inappropriate topics include:
Topics not involving Japan.
Topics involving ethnic Japanese people that have no direct connection
to Japan or Japanese culture. (For example, Lance Ito being Japanese
American does not make the OJ Simpson trial an appropriate topic.)
Commercial, wanted, forsale, or personal ads. Presently ads contribute
significantly to the noise in soc.culture.japan. Most of these ads
have other, more relevant newsgroups such as misc.marketplace.* and
alt.personals, and therefore should not be tolerated even in scj, much
less in scjm. We do recognize, however, the utility of posting ads for
jobs pertaining to Japan, and will make an exception for a weekly
digest of job ads submitted by the readership and compiled by
volunteers.
All crossposts except to soc.culture.japan. This exception is made to
prevent the scjm readership from becoming isolated from the scj
readers who elect to stay in the unmoderated forum. Note that such
crossposts are subject to the same moderation standards as all other
posts to scjm, but anyone whose posts are rejected can repost them in
scj alone and continue discussion.
Flamebaits, or posts designed specifically to elicit angry responses.
We recognize that the distinction between flamebaits and harsh posts
is a subjective one. The moderators will use their best judgment to
decide whether a flamebait will generate enough noise to warrant being
rejected.
Moderation Policy:
Most of the moderation will be done by a computer software. The functions
of the software will be to:
1) reject all crossposts except to soc.culture.japan. (It will have to
make an exception for the FAQ, which will be crossposted to
soc.culture.japan, news.answers and soc.answers.)
2) apply filters defined by the moderators to the posts to see if they
fall under certain categories (defined below). If so, the posts are
forwarded to the moderators for review.
3) check the poster name against a list of people who have already posted
to groups (and approved by the moderators). If the name is on the list
and it did not match the filters, the submission is posted automatically.
Submissions by new posters are reviewed by human moderators for
approval; this is done to reduce the number of trollers and also to
give a chance for everyone interested in scjm to become familiar with the
moderation process. (For the latter purpose, a copy of the scj.* FAQ
and a scjm FAQ outlining the moderation policy will be mailed to all
new posters.)
If a post is marked for human approval, it is forwarded to the
moderation team for review. We plan to reduce turnaround time by
having the moderators log in to a server and approve articles
deposited on that server as their schedules allow. The server will
also keep a log of each moderators' activities, and post a summary
periodically to allow the readership to ensure that the moderators
are acting in a fair manner.
If the moderators agree that a certain topic has degenerated to the
point where further discussion on scjm may be detrimental to the
mission of the group, then a filter will be installed on the computer
program to allow human moderation of the thread; in extreme cases, the
moderators may even elect to reject the thread
automatically. Similarly, if a poster repeatedly commits abuse or acts
contrary to the charter, his name may be blacklisted so that all of
his posts are subject to review. In extreme cases, the moderators may
ban the poster altogether for a limited time not exceeding two
months. All such actions by the moderators must appear in the periodical
report mentioned in the previous paragraph. In particular, the list
of blacklisted and banned individuals must be available.
There should be at least five moderators at any given time; it should
go below that number only if the moderation team feels that no
qualified individual has contacted them to volunteer. The team is
responsible for picking replacements for any moderators who decide
to leave the team.
Mike Fester <mfester@wilbur.comp.pge.com> has tentatively agreed to write
the moderation program. Shimpei Yamashita <shimpei@leland.stanford.edu>
has tentatively agreed to provide a server for the program.

REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)
moderated group soc.culture.japan.moderated
This is a the second formal Request For Discussion for the creation of
a moderated group soc.culture.japan.moderated. This is not a Call For
Votes. Do not vote now. Procedural details are at the end of this
document.
Changes from the previous RFD:
No changes (aside from a few change in wordings). No CFV was submitted
for the previous RFD because we could not find a computer on which to
run the moderator bot before the RFD expired. A volunteer has since
gracefully stepped forward and offered us use of his machine.

HOW TO VOTE:
You should send E-MAIL (posts to a newsgroup are invalid) to:
usenet-votes@mathcs.emory.edu
Please do not assume that just replying to this message will work.
Check the address before you mail your vote. Your mail message
should contain one and only one of the following vote statements:
I vote YES on soc.culture.japan.moderated
I vote NO on soc.culture.japan.moderated
You may also vote ABSTAIN or CANCEL but these are not counted as valid
votes for the total count.
NAMES ARE REQUIRED. If your mail software does not indicate your name,
include the following statement and add your name (on the same line).
Voter Name:
IMPORTANT VOTING PROCEDURE NOTES:
Standard Guidelines for voting apply. One person, one vote. Votes
must be mailed directly from the voter to the votetaker. Anonymous,
forwarded or proxy votes are not valid. Votes mailed by WWW/HTML/CGI
forms are considered to be anonymous votes.
Vote counting is automated. Failure to follow these directions may
mean that your vote does not get counted. If you do not receive an
acknowledgment of your vote within three days contact the votetaker
about the problem. It's your responsibility to make sure your vote
is registered correctly. Duplicate votes are resolved in favor of
the most recent valid vote. Addresses and votes of all voters will
be published in the final voting results post.
The purpose of a Usenet vote is to determine the genuine interest of
persons who would read a proposed newsgroup. Soliciting votes from
disinterested parties defeats this purpose. Please do not distribute
this CFV. If you must, direct people to the official CFV as posted
to news.announce.newgroups. Distributing pre-marked or otherwise
edited copies of this CFV is generally considered to be vote fraud.
When in doubt, please ask the votetaker.

significantly. The program may reject forward to the moderators those
articles that fall under certain criteria they determine (see
MODERATION POLICY). Those wishing to carry on a cross-discussion with
other newsgroups are still welcome to do so in soc.culture.japan.
CHARTER: soc.culture.japan.moderated
soc.culture.japan.moderated is for discussion of Japanese culture.
Appropriate topics include, but are not limited to:
Living and traveling in Japan; Japanese politics, history, religion,
or current events; and Japanese entertainment (such as anime, manga,
or pop music).
Note: A frequent source of noise in soc.culture.japan is Japan's
involvement in World War II and its consequences. This topic is within
the scope of scjm, and posts on this topic are welcome; however,
posters are encouraged to keep their posts rational and informative.
In addition, moderators will reserve the right to ask the posters to
post summaries of their opinions on a certain thread, and then cut
off the thread for some length of time (on order of two weeks or so).
Inappropriate topics include:
Topics not involving Japan.
Topics involving ethnic Japanese people that have no direct connection
to Japan or Japanese culture. (For example, Lance Ito being Japanese
American does not make the OJ Simpson trial an appropriate topic.)
Commercial, wanted, forsale, or personal ads. Presently ads contribute
significantly to the noise in soc.culture.japan. Most of these ads
have other, more relevant newsgroups such as misc.marketplace.* and
alt.personals, and therefore should not be tolerated even in scj, much
less in scjm. We do recognize, however, the utility of posting ads for
jobs pertaining to Japan, and will make an exception for a weekly
digest of job ads submitted by the readership and compiled by
volunteers.
All crossposts except to soc.culture.japan. This exception is made to
prevent the scjm readership from becoming isolated from the scj
readers who elect to stay in the unmoderated forum. Note that such
crossposts are subject to the same moderation standards as all other
posts to scjm, but anyone whose posts are rejected can repost them in
scj alone and continue discussion.
Flamebaits, or posts designed specifically to elicit angry responses.
We recognize that the distinction between flamebaits and harsh posts
is a subjective one. The moderators will use their best judgment to
decide whether a flamebait will generate enough noise to warrant being
rejected.
Moderation Policy:
Most of the moderation will be done by a computer software. The functions
of the software will be to:
1) reject all crossposts except to soc.culture.japan. (It will have to
make an exception for the FAQ, which will be crossposted to
soc.culture.japan, news.answers and soc.answers.)
2) apply filters defined by the moderators to the posts to see if they
fall under certain categories (defined below). If so, the posts are
forwarded to the moderators for review.
3) check the poster name against a list of people who have already posted
to groups (and approved by the moderators). If the name is on the list
and it did not match the filters, the submission is posted automatically.
Submissions by new posters are reviewed by human moderators for
approval; this is done to reduce the number of trollers and also to
give a chance for everyone interested in scjm to become familiar with the
moderation process. (For the latter purpose, a copy of the scj.* FAQ
and a scjm FAQ outlining the moderation policy will be mailed to all
new posters.)
If a post is marked for human approval, it is forwarded to the
moderation team for review. We plan to reduce turnaround time by
having the moderators log in to a server and approve articles
deposited on that server as their schedules allow. The server will
also keep a log of each moderators' activities, and post a summary
periodically to allow the readership to ensure that the moderators
are acting in a fair manner.
If the moderators agree that a certain topic has degenerated to the
point where further discussion on scjm may be detrimental to the
mission of the group, then a filter will be installed on the computer
program to allow human moderation of the thread; in extreme cases, the
moderators may even elect to reject the thread
automatically. Similarly, if a poster repeatedly commits abuse or acts
contrary to the charter, his name may be placed in a filter so that all of
his posts are subject to human review. In extreme cases, the moderators may
ban the poster altogether for a limited time not exceeding two
months. All such actions by the moderators must appear in the periodical
report mentioned in the previous paragraph. In particular, the list
of monitored and banned individuals must be available.
There should be at least five moderators at any given time; it should
go below that number only if the moderation team feels that no
qualified individual has contacted them to volunteer. The team is
responsible for picking replacements for any moderators who decide
to leave the team.
Russ Allbery <eagle@eyrie.org> has graciously volunteered to provide a
server from which to perform the moderation duties.

HOW TO VOTE:
You should send E-MAIL (posts to a newsgroup are invalid) to:
usenet-votes@mathcs.emory.edu
Please do not assume that just replying to this message will work.
Check the address before you mail your vote. Your mail message
should contain one and only one of the following vote statements:
I vote YES on soc.culture.japan.moderated
I vote NO on soc.culture.japan.moderated
You may also vote ABSTAIN or CANCEL but these are not counted as valid
votes for the total count.
NAMES ARE REQUIRED. If your mail software does not indicate your name,
include the following statement and add your name (on the same line).
Voter Name:
IMPORTANT VOTING PROCEDURE NOTES:
Standard Guidelines for voting apply. One person, one vote. Votes
must be mailed directly from the voter to the votetaker. Anonymous,
forwarded or proxy votes are not valid. Votes mailed by WWW/HTML/CGI
forms are considered to be anonymous votes.
Vote counting is automated. Failure to follow these directions may
mean that your vote does not get counted. If you do not receive an
acknowledgment of your vote within three days contact the votetaker
about the problem. It's your responsibility to make sure your vote
is registered correctly. Duplicate votes are resolved in favor of
the most recent valid vote. Addresses and votes of all voters will
be published in the final voting results post.
The purpose of a Usenet vote is to determine the genuine interest of
persons who would read a proposed newsgroup. Soliciting votes from
disinterested parties defeats this purpose. Please do not distribute
this CFV. If you must, direct people to the official CFV as posted
to news.announce.newgroups. Distributing pre-marked or otherwise
edited copies of this CFV is generally considered to be vote fraud.
When in doubt, please ask the votetaker.

RATIONALE: soc.culture.japan.moderated
soc.culture.japan (scj) presently receives over 200 posts per
day. Many of these posts are off-topic, and many more are crossposted
flame wars that bring no fruitful discussions and distract the
readership as a whole from the threads that do invite good
discussion. Newsreaders with good killfile mechanisms can reduce the
noise to some extent; however, the speed at which new irrelevant
threads are created in recent days can exhaust even the most prolific
killfile writers.
To help solve this problem, we propose the creation of a new newsgroup
soc.culture.japan.moderated (scjm). Note that this is not an attempt
to moderate scj; scj will remain active and unmoderated after the
creation of scjm.
Because of the high traffic expected in the group, a computer program
will moderate most of the traffic in scjm. The program will reject all
crossposts except to soc.culture.japan and subject all new posters to
human approval; we expect that these measures alone will reduce noise
significantly. The program may reject forward to the moderators those
articles that fall under certain criteria they determine (see
MODERATION POLICY). Those wishing to carry on a cross-discussion with
other newsgroups are still welcome to do so in soc.culture.japan.
