I suppose a return to moderated operation on ANN has long been overdue, so I'm considering that for the near future, hopefully with the support of the moderators. It has also become clear that a lot of people want to discuss industry news that might or might not relate to the Amiga - but there has been an equal amount of people complaining about such postings. Therefore, a "generic news" category might become necessary. Equally, quite a few voices have requested forums, while others have complained about the Unmoderated section being used as such. Therefore, a "forum" category seems logical. What do you think?

RFC... Return to moderated, new categories? : Comment 27 of 28ANN.lu

In reply to Comment 26 (Rodney McDonell):
> wasnt that the point of the umoderates part?
The idea, at first, was a publically accessible waiting queue so that visitors could *optionally* see news items that I had not approved yet.
As my interests shifted, a lot of valuable news items just remained in Unmoderated because there was nobody to move them over to the main page, and the majority of ANN's visitors went to the Unmoderated page after the main page anyway.
So after one or two testing periods when I was away on holiday, I decided to display Unmoderated postings on the main page by default.
