Hi Everyone!
in my head:
- the term "moderated" means that someone/a software appliance reads
the mail and change something in it to make message more "soft for
human eyes" (moderate it!) *before* send it to the list; this is a
behavior that *all* posts (sub and unsub) may be subjected (!!!); this
happen in the lists all over the world;
On this list, and the others for OOo, it means only that the sender is
not subscribed and that a human is deciding whether to pass the message
along to the list. There is no team that reviews all messages prior to
their going to the list, and no message text is ever changed; AFAIK, the
moderators could not do so, they can only pass or reject the message in
its entirety. It may be possible to set up a structure and a team that
allows the kind of activity you are referring to (though almost
certainly not while we're using CollabNet/ezmlm), but so far there have
been very few people who will do the current moderation, and increasing
their responsibilities at this point seems unlikely to help with that.
One other thing that needs to be pointed out, when you start
"moderating" text you become responsible for the content of the
messages. Removing complete message because of spam is one thing
changing text is a whole different legal problem.
The list is either a "carrier" or a "Content Provider". The legal
aspects are different.
