But aleCodd/ale has posted multiple times in the past. What does it take to become a "whitelisted user"? Or are you speaking generally when referring to "whitelisted users" and "first-time posters"? On the flip side, I don't think you (aleCodd) are helping yourself by using an email address consisting of a number (33) and a popular website unrelated to the current list (facebook), and hosted at a huge email provider (gmail). Depending on what kind of interface the moderators have, it could be pretty easy to pass that over as spam. -- Best, Ben -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
