It's true that no unmoderated group (alt or otherwise) has enforceable
rules. If they did, we'd see a lot less spam but a lot more censorship.

Nevertheless, there's a reason Usenet has lots of different newsgroups,
rather than one big one. There's value in following a consensus about
what things belong where. Everybody (except spammers) benefits.
