As I mentioned in previous emails:
1. Foxter seems unable to read and comprehend correctly
2. I run a couple of lists on Onelist; because of this, I
subscribe to both the Onelist moderators list, plus the email
list devoted to the Onelist/eGroups merger. The Family
Filter has been a recent topic of discussion on these lists.
The Family Filter has absolutely NO effect on email, either in sending
it or in receiving it. What it DOES do is limit access to 'adult'
groups on the website; if the filter is turned on, one can't access
one's
lists if they are rated 'adult', even if you are already subscribed,
and
even if you are owner/moderator of the list (and acknowledged bug).
The filter also affects what lists are displayed when searching for
lists
on the website.
>HOW TO *TURN OFF* THE "FAMILY FILTER"
>Go to www.onelist.com
An easier way is to go to http://www.onelist.com/family
>I suggest you write and complain,
It won't accomplish anything. List owners on the owner's email list
have already complained, and it's been acknowledged that the family
filter thing was handled badly. Spamming Onlist/eGroups management
won't accomplish anything.
>I noticed that I

Then you were experiencing some other problem than the family filter.
As I mentioned above, the filter does NOT affect sending and receiving
email to any list on Onelist, even those rated 'adult'; it only
affects
accessing the lists via the website.
It was a couple of days before I was aware of the filter being on, and
there was never a problem with me receiving email from Onelist lists,
even those which I don't own and are rated 'adult'; and no member of
my
lists (which ARE rated adult) missed any email -- in fact, I warned
them
about this filter via a post to my lists.
Perhaps Foxter sees a conspiracy in all this, when only incompetentcy
suffices....
