Response to Ian Jackson:

Advertising: There should be a policy statement in the charter.

This wants to be in the initial moderation policy, I think. How
about:

Announcements of events are permitted at the moderators' discretion.
Advertising of products and services is not permitted.


At present there are very occasional FS notices, which commonly point to
individual's private sales or Ebay auctions. In my opinion these can do
more good than harm, and I hope the advertising policy will allow for
them.

There should be no ads for selling or buying anything at all.

People can use the un moderated group for those.

Ads for events should be permitted.

I think that is a reasonable approach - obviously correctly delineated
signaturess of the appropriate length can include pointers to your
goods and services as is the custom.

Third party mentions of ebay auctions, and good or bad service, or
good places to buy certain gear should also be OK, especially so when
in the course of a conversation. For example many people used to ask
advice about what and where to buy.
