Hi all. I got a bit behind on going through the moderated messages
queue. This was in part because I had access technology testing all day
Thursday in Austin, and then because I had other personal things to deal
with this weekend. Consequently I got behind on going through the queue.
However such is life when you are moderated. I've since allowed the
right messages to go through, and so you should see them shortly. I also
just removed around 25 messages which were held in the moderation queue
because they were from people who are on moderation asking why their
messages were not making it to the list. There are 2 reasons why this is
so, and this is really the major reason for this post. I'll explain below.
Reason 1. You are a new member. If you are a new member, then this one
is for you and you don't have to read reason 2. If you are not a new
member, then skip this and read reason 2. I define a new member as
someone who has joined in the last couple of weeks. By default, all new
members are on automatic moderation. This isn't because I like that sort
of control. Instead it's because anyone can join this list.
Unfortunately that also means spammers. So, I have the list set to
automatically make new members moderated. Once I see that the new
members are doing 2 things I will remove the moderation flag and then
their posts will no longer be moderated. The 2 things are; 1, the member
is a real person not posting obvious spam, and 2, the member is posting
on topic messages and not one liners or other useless messages.
Reason 2. You are not a new member, but you are on moderation. If you
are not a new member, meaning that you have joined more than 2 weeks
ago, and you are on moderation, it's for 1 of 3 reasons. 1, you used to
be a new member and are obviously a real person, but you are constantly
posting off topic messages or one liner messages and so your moderation
flag never got removed. 2, You used to not be on moderation, but you
were added to it because of posting off topic messages, one liners, or
were rude or attacked another list member. 3, There is no reason 3. I
just want to see if you are actually reading this.
In the case of new members, once I determine after a few messages that
you are a real person and are posting on topic messages I'll remove the
moderation. In the cases where you are on moderation for any other
reason other than being a new member, I'll write you privately when I
remove your moderation flag, or I will write you to remind you that you
are still on moderation and explain why.
I hope this helps clear things up.
