alt.games.creatures.moderated (or AGCM) was an attempt by Dillon (then "alize") to creating a moderated subgroup of alt.games.creatures during late January - early February 1999 (see history). It appears to be generally accepted that he did this in order to protest against those he accused of flaming him on the existing newsgroup. The creation of the newsgroup is discussed (at length) in various, numerous newsgroup threads, as well as that of his previous suggestion - alt.games.creatures2.moderated - in which he replied to criticism with the following statement:

Again this is precisely why a new moderated group NEEDS to be created. Because of these people who think that they are the "elites" can go and say anything they please and people will believe it. They think that they can control the actions of everyone in the so called community. Well no longer. Sorry folk's your game is over."' Eventually Dillon changed his mind, and later wrote an apology for some of his actions in relation to alt.games.creatures. It appears that no posts of significance were ever made on alt.games.creatures.moderated - most non-spam topics were created by newbies. Dillon did not correctly register the group for moderation, and therefore posts were never actually moderated. RedWordSmith attempted to remove the newsgroup, but as news servers are not required to do so it has remained visible for some. In June 2000 jtryspice suggested much the same thing with alt.games.creatures.sane; the group was never created.
