Hi David: The moderator's role is to approve - or not, of course - messages coming to the list from non-registered addresses. Many of these are spam, or return receipts, or out-of-office messages, which the list members don't want to see. Some are from persons with a genuine posting, but not registered, and, at the moment, anyone who posts a message via nabble (the online archives/forum) has to have his message approved for it to also go out via the mailing list. So no, not all messages are filtered by a human. Just the ones the machine can't decide on. Varies from about 10 to maybe 100 on a bad day. Normally around 20-30. There are four or five moderators, depending on the list, most in Europe, but one or two, I think, in the US for when Europe is offline. //James -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Moderator-problem-tp1932020p1953196.html Sent from the Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
