   This is an RFD to

   1) unmoderate rec.games.cyber

Now that the automoderator works, there is no need to unmoderate it, due to
the fact that the problem lies with the mailing list not being updated due
to people not dealing properly with unsubscribes.  Unmoderation it will
have no effect on this, and if you get rid of the gatewayed mailing list, I
will no longer recieve these (not having a newsfeed) so I vote no on this
one.

   2) move rec.games.cyber to rec.games.frp.cyber

I have said before (apparently not loud enough) the discussions here are
_*NOT*_ fantasy!  They are about a SCIENCE FICTION role playing game.

Let's go over that again.  Not a fantasy role playing [game] but
                                 ^       ^    ^
a Science Fiction (based on hard science and the future of this world
today, not some author's stroke fantasy of what that author had mangled the
laws of science to allow for his particular deviations) role playing game.

If someone was going to establish some rec.games.SFrp.cyber along with
(say) rec.games.sfrp.starfleet-battles or rec.games.sfrp.eurorails or some
such (there are precous few actually marketed science fiction games which
is one of the reasons that I fight so hard sometimes ...) then maybe I
would go for it.  But seeing that there doesn't seem to sbe that many games
that would fall under that category, I don't see why it should be created.

   I'm quite sure many agree with the first one (unmoderating r.g.c), as
   there is no reason to keep r.g.c moderated. About the second one:
   rec.games.cyber is not in it's right place in UseNet hierarchies. As it
   deals with cyberpunk-genre roleplaying, it clearly should be under
   rec.games.frp hierarchy.

Again it might be shoved under rec.games.larp.cyber or rec.newage.cyber
with as much (lack of) justace.  Don't move it and force it where it
doesn't belong, because you can't pigeon hole it properly.

   The discussion period begins as this article is posted and ends after
   one month of discussion. CFV will be posted 6th January.

Will someone please forward this to whomever/whatever groups they think is
appropriate, for I am tired of trying to track down the numbskulls
themselves.   I think it is time to get out the birckbat ..
