Remind me again, what exactly does the 'moderated' stand for in
'sci.space.moderated' ?

It means that the moderators can look at posts. We currently run a
white list for most people. Unfortunatly some people are rather
abusing this with off topic stuff. We might have to crack down but
I'd far rather that people thought a bit about what they posted.

I was wondering that myself; at the moment .moderated has more
flame wars going than .history... this sort of defeats the purpose
of the whole thing, doesn't it?

What in here would you describe as a flame war? I've seen some people
arguing over things (and some people presenting arguments that are
really off the wall) but nothing that I would have defined as a flame
war. Your milage obviously varies so I;d be interested to see by how
much.
