Re: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mailing_lists/Guidelines#Second_attempt_at_Moderation_guideline_.28July_2014.29
Based on a thread I started at Wikimedia-l, the above general guideline for email list moderation is being improved above, ensuring better transparency of list moderation. I am hoping that Wikimediauk-l will adopt this as best practice. Please do take part on meta if you have some thoughts about improvement. I have been moderated on this list for quite a while now, I guess it will be forever unless a guideline for appeals is adopted. My moderation was not started for any post on this list, the explanation I had from David, was that he personally did not like my posts to Wikimedia-l and so responded by moderating me here (I have never been moderated on any other list than this one). A key disadvantage to moderation is that my emails to this regularly take 2 days to get posted, so I am not inclined to take part in any active discussion - instead I just post off-list or have used Wikimedia-l or one of the other lists that volunteers interested in the same projects as me take part in. I have never had an email not get posted, they just confusingly appear "pre-dated" as if they were posted when I sent them. Of course there are advantages in spending more time in other places rather than a UK centric email list, so it's swings and roundabouts.
