Re: [Elecraft] Moderation
Hi Adrian, In general we do not moderate every posting to the Elecraft list for content. We simply do not have time. Also, new subscribers to the list are not automatically moderated. The Elecraft list server (which is provided by qth.net, not Elecraft) will occasionally hold a posting when it comes from an unsubscribed email address or contains swear words, is obviously spam etc. We also will put a specific email address in 'moderate' mode when we see that it has been hijacked by a spammer who is posting to the list. In these cases the emails are saved by the server for review and we try to check that group daily during the business week. Almost 99% of these are spam. If a posting is from an email address that is subscribed to the list and it is not spam etc, it gets passed through. Spam, postings from emails addresses that do not exactly match the subscriber list etc are usually rejected. One common mistake subscribers make is to subscribe from one email address or alias and then post from another with a from: address that does not match their list sub address. Those will get bounced by the server as we get hit by hundreds of unsubscribed addresses with spam daily. Most of our moderation comes from posts I make here gently suggesting that threads end etc. 73, Eric Elecraft List Moderator from time to time. www.elecraft.com _..._ On Apr 27, 2012, at 8:54 PM, "Adrian" wrote: > How many years do you need to be on the list before posts are not moderated, > or am I on the naughty list? > > > > I have posted messages here then have seen several and tens of posts go > through after my post timestamp, > > before I finally see mine show up the next day and way out of sequence with > the thread responded too. > > > > Adrian . vk4tux > > __ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

[Elecraft] Moderation
How many years do you need to be on the list before posts are not moderated, or am I on the naughty list?

[Elecraft] Moderation?
I sent the following to the list "owner" and did not receive the coutesy of a response. I attempted to send the following message to the Elecraft list in response to a query. It never showed up on the list, although I attempted twice. I never received a "rejected" or "moderated" notice. Am I being censored for some reason? > Clint Sprague wrote: > >> Heard a bunch of stations last nite on 40CW calling >> CQ sp test >> exchange was state & power(w) >> I searched all the contest listing but couldn't find >> a contest that was being run at this time. >> Anyone know what contest this was, and where I can >> find a good webpage listing all contest activity? >> >> 73, >> Clint >> WS1V >> > > You heard the Spartan Sprint, held the first Monday of every month by the Adventure Radio Society. > > For QRP Contests, check Ken, N2CQ's page: > http://www.amqrp.org/contesting/contesting.html > > -- _ _ _ _ _ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ John L.
