MODERATOR VACANCY INVESTIGATION (MVI)
moderated group soc.support.pregnancy.loss This is a formal Moderator Vacancy Investigation (MVI), begun because moderated newsgroup soc.support.pregnancy.loss is not functioning, and may have been abandoned by its moderator(s). This investigation will attempt to verify the reasons for non-function, and may result in the removal of the group or the selection and installation of a new moderator. In practice, the Big-8 Management Board considers the third alternative -- changing the status of the group from moderated to unmoderated -- as likely to cause more harm than good. NEWSGROUPS LINE: soc.support.pregnancy.loss Issues and support related to pregnancy loss. (Moderated) RATIONALE: Probe posts to this group resulted in bounces. DISTRIBUTION: news.announce.newgroups news.groups.proposals soc.support.pregnancy.loss misc.kids.pregnancy CHARTER Soc.support.pregnancy.loss is a MODERATED forum for discussing all aspects of pregnancy loss. Its objective is to provide support and information for everyone experiencing or concerned about the trauma of miscarriage, (including blighted ovum), ectopic pregnancy, therapeutic terminations, still birth or neo-natal death. Postings should be supportive and non-judgmental. The following are examples of topics appropriate to this newsgroup: * Causes of pregnancy loss * Monitoring pregnancy and preventing miscarriage (where possible) * Risks for subsequent pregnancies * Coping with fear in subsequent pregnancies * Grieving for our lost babies * Funerals and remembrance * What to say (and not to say) about pregnancy loss * Deciding to terminate a pregnancy when an abnormality is detected * Deciding to continue a pregnancy when an abnormality is detected * Deciding what to do when the baby has died but the pregnancy continues * Organizations that can help Most importantly, this newsgroup functions as an on-line support group, a place to tell our stories and receive support from people who have been through similar experiences. Unwelcome Posts: All criticism about choices made when faced with pregnancy loss are Unwelcome. Unsupportive posts concerning therapeutic terminations, as well as posts debating the moral, ethical and political implications of abortion will not be approved by the moderators under any circumstances. Flames, all pyramid selling and "get rich quick" schemes, and postings of a commercial nature (although posters will be free to recommend or criticize commercial products on a personal basis.), are also unwelcome and will not be approved for posting. Binary files are also unwelcome. HISTORY OF THE GROUP: The group passed its vote 10 December 1997 by 153:51. Traffic dwindled to zero in late 2005. PROPONENT: Steve Bonine PROCEDU Those who wish to comment on this moderator vacancy investigation should subscribe to news.groups.proposals and participate in the relevant threads in that newsgroup. To this end, the followup header of this MVI has been set to news.groups.proposals.
