Currently, these groups cannot be used for discussion because of
the lack of a moderator. Most of these groups haven't had a
moderator for a long time and have been unused for years. We
consider it unlikely that they will ever be revived with a new
moderator. Nonetheless, anyone interested in becoming a moderator
for a group listed in this RFD is invited to contact the Big-8
Management Board. 

 
comp.lang.c.moderated is in this list.  It has had no active
moderator and no traffic since 2014.  Discussions on comp.lang.c
indicate that at least some people would participate in a revived
comp.lang.c.moderated, but there's little or no support for actually
reviving it.
 

 
This group could be a candidate for an MVI. When's the last time
there was an MVI for comp.lang.c.moderated?

I can't find an MWI that came after the group was/is defunct.
https://comp.lang.c.moderated.narkive.com/

I also can't find it on the big-8 website. Maybe some older people know
it, I wasn't using Usenet before 2021.

Otherwise, the Big-8 Board could omit it from this list of 99
moderated groups.

We could, but if there is no person who wants to moderate it, it will
be deleted. comp.lang.c exists and is being used as an unmoderated
alternative.
