Re: [Foundation-l] Take a look at the latest rep watches

2009-05-07 Thread David Gerard
2009/5/7 Charlotte Webb charlottethew...@gmail.com:

 I think David Gerard said human postings generally do not score above
 2.0 unless their vocabulary suggests a background in SEO, then it's
 higher.


I don't remember saying the second part, but yeah, most human-written
emails score below 2.0. However, enough score above 2.0 (up to 5 or
even 7 is not uncommon) that email with a spam score over 2 should be
held in the mod queue for inspection, not outright rejected or
discarded.

(We largely solved this on wikien-l by requiring membership to post at
all. This is less than ideal for absolute openness, but we floated the
idea on the list to no objection and it's made maintenance *way*
easier.)

Well, same here. Except that there are some legacy filters left,
mostly from (former and current) Wikimedia Foundation staff and
Foundation/Chapters board members, who wanted to be able to post to
the list both from their subscribed account (usually Gmail or Yahoo or
whatever...) and their @wikimedia address...

I suppose this should be sorted out.

 No one approved it (see headers, there is no Approved-on line). But I
 found a legacy entry in the Always accept posts from these
 non-members filter for anth...@wikimedia.org...  Well, I removed that
 line now, as Anthere is not using a @wikimedia.org address anymore.

I realize we shouldn't be white-listing by domain name, but if a
garden variety spam-bot was able to convincingly spoof the return
address, imagine the confusion a real person could have caused.

Apologies if I sounded harsh in my original e-mail (I just re-read it now).
I received the e-mail from you Michael, not from the OP, so I assumed
it was forwarded from a non-member.

No worries, I didn't consider it harsh.

Um...you did? That's weird. I just received it as a completely normal
list mail myself, I certainly didn't forward it to the list or
anything like that. I'll defer to people with more technical knowledge
now, why on earth you would have received that email from me instead
of from the list.

Check your spam folder.  That's where it automatically went for me.

Thanks for clearing this up, I didn't think of that

I'm slightly appalled that Gmail spam-filtered it for you but did not
filter it out for me...but then, I wouldn't have seen it and be able
to take measures otherwise.

Anyways, before now all Gmail users (an estimated 85% of the actively
posting list subscribers) outline whether it went into THEIR spam
folder or not, we should maybe allow this thread a gracious
death...now that everything appears resolved!

Cheers,
Michael
