similar to: Moderating on IRC and/or the Mailing Lists

The CentOS team likes to offer an apology for the political spam mails which went through our mail servers earlier today. Due to the nature of mailing list software for public discussion groups, there aren't that many security measures which can be taken to check which mails are supposed to get through and which mails aren't. Total safety can only be had by a moderation of all lists -

Hello folks, This is a periodic mailing of the FAQ[1] for the various xiph.org mailing lists. This is triggered by noticing some [probably minor] clueless use of the mailing list. If you haven't read it before, please read it now. [1] In this case FAQ == Frequently Answered Questions. We answer 'em before you ask 'em. They're not rules, they're just the way it works. 1)

Three new mailing lists are now available: FreeBSD-AFS FreeBSD-ISDN FreeBSD-Java FreeBSD-AFS: porting AFS to FreeBSD FreeBSD-ISDN: this list was previously hosted by muc.ditec.de and has now been moved to FreeBSD.org. FreeBSD-Java: porting the JDK and JVM to FreeBSD These three lists, and the freebsd-chat mailing list, are also the first to introduce our new subscription policy.

Does anyone know if their are rules that this list is supposed to be following? It doesn't appear to be moderated, so I realize that such rules would be self-enforced, but it still might be good to agree on some. Likewise, we could agree on none. That works also. Any thoughts? Some suggestions: 1) Be polite at all times. Imagine your grandmother reads this list. 2) If you can't be

All, This list is a "Members Only" posting list ... this is good because it prevents us from getting hundreds of Viagra commercials and such. You can only post to the list with the e-mail address that you subscribed with. If you post from another e-mail address, it will tell you that "Your post needs to be approved by a Moderator." I just want to tell everyone that I

In light of recent flame baits and advertisements sent to the list, I would like to seek opinions of list members on making the list moderated. I certainly don't have time to moderate the list myself, so I would suggest giving at least a half dozen, maybe more, people the ability to approve posts to keep it flowing quickly. Moderators would be asked just to approve/disapprove based upon a

We (mainly the R core team) have been discussing the creation of another R mailing list, with the goal to fill the gap between R-help very high volume, with its great merits, but.... and R-announce only for R important announcements (mostly R-core) hence __MODERATED__ and *very* low volume, and hence highly recommended for almost all users of R. *** all messages are forwarded

I was in the #centos-social channel and simply stated that I noticed CentOS 3-4 were getting a lot of updates. I also stated that the CentOS 5 was one kernel behind, as in RHEL it is at -53, the gentlemen then told me that I was wrong and it was at -21. I then asked if there was a way to get a progress report somehow on 5.2, and that 5.2 has already upgraded that kernel. The result was that I was

The CentOS Project seems to be having a problem within some of our community interactive areas that we need to address. As most of you know, the project provides CentOS software free of charge and we also provide community areas like a Wiki, Mailing Lists, IRC Channels and Fora for our users to interact with one another and allow the CentOS community to provide support for each other. There are

OK guys and gals ... can we please stop all the fighting? When technical questions are asked, they should be answered. I lot of people on this list have something that a lot of newbies need ... experience. So answering a question with "RTFM" or "JFGI" is not going to impart any of your experience ... which is one of the things they need and want. Also ... if someone attacks

Hello all, we're seeking people that could do our mailing list moderation, since we're getting about 15 to 20 spam bounces per day on our mailing lists (wine-announce, wine-bugs, wine-cvs, wine-devel, wine-patches, wine-users). Needless to say this amount has increased since we started doing it. Currently Ove Kaaven and me do the moderation stuff for all the mails that bounced due to the

Just to answer the aspect of why people in IRC tell you to go to a mailing list ? because mailing list answers are more permanent that IRC, and also, it spreads the knowledge of the question, and the answer over a much wider time frame rather than just the two to three sentences that are involved in fixing your situation. It also notifies the mailing list which is generally watched by the
