Megillot members, In order to reduce the amount of moderator work involved in keeping the list free from unwanted email (SPAM), the following changes have been made to Megillot policy:
1. Messages from members will be distributed automatically without explicit moderator approval. However, as an unfortunate side effect, this change makes it possible for any member to SPAM the list. 2. If a member posts an inappropriate message, that member will be reminded privately of the list guidelines. 3. If inappropriate posts from that member continue, his or her membership will be revoked. In other words, the only line of defence against SPAM from now on will be approval of applications for membership. This policy has been in effect for a few days now; so far, it has been working reasonably well. If in doubt as to whether a post is appropriate, please send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for approval. Thank you for your patience and continued responsible use of the list, Ken Penner, McMaster/DSS, http://s91279732.onlinehome.us Dead Sea Scrolls scholars' list owner, http://mailman.McMaster.CA/mailman/listinfo/g-megillot _______________________________________________ g-Megillot mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.McMaster.CA/mailman/listinfo/g-megillot
