robomoderator

Definitions

A robotic moderator (of a discussion forum, etc.).

Examples

“I wonder⟳ if r.s.bb.analysis could work⟳ as an unmoderated group? The name⟳ (and presence of r.s.bb) might deflect much of the chaff. Maybe it could be started up with a robomoderator (automatically accepts all submissions) with a real moderator substituted only if/when necessary.”

“All it has to do is check the presence of the necessary items by looking for the "Job-*" lines (or whatever its name⟳ happens to be), and rejecting the article if the required fields are not present⟳, or if they have⟳ no accompanying text. Then the robomoderator could compose the subject line, not only with the min-info, but in a standard format as well.”

“I have⟳ been advised that it is unwise for a robomoderator to approve⟳ a post⟳ that is crossposted to, say⟳, three newsgroups, then post⟳ it to those three. […] Is it O.K. to have⟳ a robomoderator that rejects crossposts if the number⟳ of newsgroups is >3, but to crosspost to all newsgroups if <= 3?”
