There were 330 YES votes and 107 NO votes, for a total of 437 valid
votes. There was 1 abstention and 12 invalid ballots.
For a group to pass, YES votes must be at least 2/3 of all valid (YES
and NO) votes. There must also be at least 100 more YES votes than NO
votes.
A five day discussion period follows this announcement. If no serious
allegations of voting irregularities are raised, the moderator of
news.announce.newgroups will create the group shortly thereafter.
Voting closed at 23:59:59 UTC, 4 Apr 1996.
This vote was conducted by a neutral third party. Questions about
this proposal should be directed to the proponent.
The existing unmoderated group alt.sex.movies has proved a popular but
unfortunately limited and vulnerable forum for the discussion of
erotic films and videos. We propose the creation of a moderated
rec.arts.movies.erotica group in which discussion can expand and
flourish. Discussion in alt.sex.movies has been almost de facto
centered on hardcore films/videos while the existing rec.arts.movies
groups tend to ignore the erotic element of mainstream movies. This
polarization has left the many afficionados of softcore and mainstream
erotic releases feeling equally uneasy in both rec.arts.movies.misc
and alt.sex.movies. We intend rec.arts.movies.erotica to provide a
safe haven for discussion encompassing the whole spectrum of erotic
movies. We also feel that the group has to be moderated so that the
exceptional abuses endemic in alt.sex.movies and the alternative
hierarchy in general (such as spams, binary posts and unsolicited
advertisements) do not plague the new group as well. Add to this
polarization the continuing flood of inexperienced USENET users who
consistently refrain from reading the extensive a.s.m. FAQ and flood
a.s.m. with repetitious questions, and one sees that moderation would
better serve newbies and old-timers alike by providing a group that:
1) less repetitiously posts questions and answers about erotic movies;
2) more accurately answers frequently asked questions by referring
questioners to the FAQ; 3) incorporates FAQs into the group-FAQ more
quickly and more easily; and 4) relegates off-topic posts to the bit
bucket.
rec.arts.movies.erotica is a moderated USENET newsgroup dedicated to
the intelligent and mature discussion of erotic films and videos --
hardcore, softcore or mainstream, gay or heterosexual. Discussion
should be limited to reviews of current and not-so-current releases,
gossip, behind the scenes stories, social, economic and legal issues
surrounding erotic films, and discussion of actors and actresses (and
directors and producers and...). Unacceptable submissions include
spams, commercials and binaries.
