This mailing list is easily googled and and I think words like bullshit just casts a very bad cloud over who we appoint as administrators on the project. Whether or not it was cross posted is not of initial concern, we should be more constructive and direct the user to the appropriate method of re

Please note that I am not an OTRS agent, and never claimed to be. What I stated, was that I had run several checks for this user across multiple mailing lists, (foundation-l, wikien-l, unblock-en-l, and the OTRS system along with several others just to be through) and that this user (with the infor

Hello, I am sending this letter to this mailing list after several failed attempts to address administrators in the "Arbitration Committee" and the "Unblock mailing list". Apparently this is a Kafkaesque story which no one wishes to handle. I have recently started to edit on the English Wikipedia
