If things ever got severely out of control on talk-us, I think I'd be OK with switching the moderation bit on. But, I don't recall ever getting *anywhere* close to doing that. Maybe with this thread. ;) Serge, it looks like there may be a bit of sensitivity with calling lists "moderated". Although I think it's fair to spell out the expectations: * The list's express purpose is to cater to those who wish to work on or with OSM in a professional capacity * Posters are expected to be welcoming to others, keep flamewars to a minimum I think it's also fair to say that if there are people who are not being welcoming to others that they will be asked to unsubscribe from the list. It goes without saying on any list that if anyone misbehaves, they'll get their moderation bit turned on. If that fails repeatedly, then perhaps move to full moderation. I'd be much more apt to subscribe to a list like that than one which starts out (and stays) moderated. -- Dave _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
