Before casting a vote either way, I have a question. Does the infrastructure have some kind of spam blocking software in place? If it does not, then might it block the majority of the spam to make it more manageable for moderators? If it already does, well, then I guess there is no hope for moderation in the long run.
I am no expert, there are lots of programs out there nowadays that can be used to block spam. And the best part of some of them is that when you get spam, you can forward it to the spam server so that other similar messages will be blocked in the future. If the ASF does not already have something like this in place for the mailing lists, it should. -Mark > -----Original Message----- > From: Ceki Gülcü [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 1:55 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Moderating mailing lists > > > Hi, > > Given that spam makes up the vast majority of messages to the log4j > mailings requiring moderation (or manual intervention by the > moderators), > the current moderators that is Jon Skeet and myself, would > like to request > [EMAIL PROTECTED] to modify our mailing lists so that they > no longer > require moderation.
