My last message has only 112 kb even with that embedded image. A 112 kb
message is not bulky in these days. Some people told me that mail man
will not block any message if there is nothing to load from outside. I
remember once I used "donate to wikipedia" image in all my message, but
never get any problem in any list. If thats also true for this list,
please increase maximum message size for the list (500 kb or atleast 300
kb?).
I saw Jyothis' messge to other thread was also under moderation for
about 14 hrs (probably because he quoted me :D).

As moderators of WikimediaIndia-l, could you describe the policy you

Thank you for the email. You can review the Wikimedia mailing lists
administration page for information about the role of list admins and
mods. Here is a link which you can review:

Do you only block obvious spam or other messages, and if so on
what basis?
The spam filter on default catches spam and other bulky messages
(including ones that have image(s) embedded in them.) I think
Delphine's email contains a nice explanation.
List mods can moderate trolls and other problem users
who willfully cause or contribute to disruption on the mailing list.
I am naturally curious since a message from Praveen that you only just
released seems to have been sent in 3 days ago.
Furthermore, I think we'd benefit from understanding how people may
apply to become administrators on this list.
I understand the source of curiosity and would like to clarify that
Praveen's email was caught in the filter because it had an image
embedded in it.
In light of Anirudh's recent appointment to administrator of this
list,
is there an open process by which other members might apply?
(Foundation-l seems to have three administrators, though I would
imagine
that there is nothing stopping WikimediaIndia-l from having more than
three).
There is no formal process for "appointment" of list administrators.
The usual practice on Wikimedia lists is for the founder of a mailing
list to appoint admins and mods whom s/he can trust with keeping the
lists running as smoothly as possible.
At this point of time, we don't feel the need for having more list
administrators, however list subscribers who are interested in keeping
a check on the spam filter as moderators can write an email to either
list admins.
Please note that I don't ask with persecutory intent, but merely to
clear gaps in my own understanding, which might be a problem that
other
people on this list face as well. Since WikimediaIndia-l is such an
important place for all kinds of conversations that cut across the
movement in India, it's in all our interests to know exactly how it is
managed.
