Moderated Usenet newsgroups need multiple moderators and a moderator

The hierarchy administrators know this, yet continue to accept
subsequent moderators who are not proposing to take over a group with
multiple moderators and a succession plan.

We removed a lot of unusable moderated groups and will continue with
that process.

This is not useful in any way.

Then problem is that there are not enough people that volunteer as
moderators.

Wrong. The problem is the hierarchy administrators being unwilling to
act in a way that would make success more likely. The plan, instead, s
to keep making the very same mistakes over and over again, deluding
themselves that there will be a different result.

Do not replace moderators if there is no moderation team and no
succession plan. It's that simple. A single replacement moderator with
no succession plan sets up for failure.

Stop. Doing. That.
