Generally there's not anything to do, this is a well behaved list! So
it's not an arduous task. Like many subscribers I lurk more than post
these days, but do follow what's going on every day or two.

Just happen to be ill for the last couple of days so taking a while to
get anything done, then needed the password reset (which is also an
indication of how much "looking after" this list usually needs!)

Oops, I've just seen Matthew's post.

@Matthew: I agree, this is rare. Are you happy with continuing to support
the talk-gb list on your own or will extra volunteers help?

Thanks for the clarification Tom.

Are we allowed to know the person's name? The wiki refers to Matthew Newton
but I wasn't sure if this was still correct.

Just to clarify what Simon said a bit before you all get carried
away, there absolutely is a list administrator and there is evidence
that they are processing the moderation queue.

That's not to say that they are actively reading the messages on
the list or applying any particular code of conduct.

It does mean however that you can't just choose somebody and ask
me to make them the list owner - you will need to try and make
contact with the existing list owner and discuss the situation
with them before attempting a putsch.


Do they read messages to the "owner" address more actively?

I have no idea but hopefully.

[Talk-GB] List moderator - volunteers needed

2020-03-14 Thread Rob Nickerson
Hi all,

As may have seen in Simon's response it sounds like we currently lack list
moderators. If this is something you would like to do please email this
mailing list.

Likewise we probably need to think about the criteria of what makes a good
list moderator. If there are any traits that you'd like to see in a mailing
list moderator please share with this mailing list.

Thanks,
Rob
