Re: [Foundation-l] Take a look at the latest rep watches
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.) - d. ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l

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.

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!
