[REQUEST] Mailing list moderators

Hi folks,

I'm looking for moderators for the user@ and dev@ lists.

You'll get a few emails every day, mostly spam. All you have to do is
check them and delete them from your inbox. About once a day or less,
someone's actual mail is stuck in the moderation queue, and you reply
to the mail, and it gets let through.

If you're up for this, please let me know. (In private, if you like.)

Thanks,

That's certainly an option. The only ML it wouldn't work for is private@.

To reduce the burden of moderation, can we not reject messages from those not subscribed, with instructions on how to subscribe? I hear you that you’d rather not do so, but I think it’s reasonable. If the volume of false negatives is much lower, more folks might elect to become moderators. I know I get (unasked-for) moderation emails from one of our lists, and they’re always spam).

Usually people who are not subscribed from some reason. These are
important mails that need to be let through. Whether legitimate users
who forgot to subscribe, or Apache members who are notifying us of
things. Occasionally, someone from a company like Cloudant replies to
thread which may have made it to an internal list. Stuff like that.

Noah,

The 1 in 10 that need letting through are for folks sending from outside or folks that are subscribed but triggered a spam filter?

We have moderators. I am fed up of moderating them. I want to know
there are other people available to do this. Thanks for the people
who've volunteered so far. I'll add people in a few days.

About 1 in 10 emails are valid and need letting through.

Do we have moderators for these lists currently or is this a request
to add them? I've largely given up on moderating the erlang@ list
cause I've not once seen a valid email to it. I was under the
impression that user@ and dev@ just had much more strict rules on spam
filtering.

Hi Noah,

as I do that already for l10n I can do that also for dev@ and user@. So you
can add me as a moderator for both lists.

Cheers
