Re: 3rd RfD: Mass-deletion of moderated groups without a moderator

[news.groups.proposals removed from the newsgroups list because my previous post was refused because "you can't crosspost between news.groups and news.groups.proposals"]

Personally, I think this robo-moderation idea has the risk of being a
lot of effort for little reward.

 I agree with this statement.

You know what's even less effort?  Do nothing.
It's not like removing 100ish dead groups from the list is going to affect anyone.  There are vanishingly few people wandering around Usenet looking for places to post.  The folks who are here are using the groups they know and it is excruciatingly rare that they find themselves wanting to post outside of those groups.
New users . . . Wait.  There are none.
I've been watching the latest victory of the Big8 committee - comp.sys.wearables.  So far the sum total of posts is the "Moderator Found" post and a welcome-back post with one followup.  This is typical of efforts to revive groups that have been dead for decades, and completely predictable.
WHY expend effort doing things like removing groups or trying to revive dead ones?  It is wasted effort. But if you've got nothing better to do with your time . . .
