Jean Abou Samra,
Why am I mentioned in your e-mail? Thank you for your kind attention. Mark From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jean Abou Samra Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2023 2:36 PM To: lilypond-user <[email protected]> Cc: mark <[email protected]> Subject: Policy for posts from non-members Hi, I've not been an admin of this list for very long, yet I'm already weary of telling people who post without being subscribed to the list that they should subscribe in order to avoid each of their messages being manually approved. I wonder what you (meaning everyone, but especially Mark, the other admin) would think about changing the list configuration to reject post from non-members instead of holding them on moderation, with a message such as “Welcome to the lilypond-user mailing list. We apologize, but in order to prevent spam, we need you to subscribe to the list before you post. Please fill out the subscription form on https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user. Once you are subscribed, you will receive all posts to the list, so you can help out other people as well. However, if you only wish to interact with this list infrequently, you may disable mail subscription in your membership preferences after you have subscribed. If you believe you are already subscribed to the list, it probably means that you accidentally posted from a different email address than the one you are subscribed with. If you have any question or encounter problems, feel free to contact the list admins at [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> ” On the plus side, this means that instead of delaying the message until Mark or me looks at it, the feedback will come instantly. Jean
