Joel, We *sort* of moderate our discussions. As an anti-spam measure currently, if you are not subscribed to a mailer, and have not been previously 'whitelisted', your email is 'held for moderation' by the LF staff, which take a quick look to see if you are a spammer, and if not, they add you to the whitelist. Essentially we 'moderate' out spammers, but all other conversation is completely inbounds.
As to other features, part of the discussion is which features we want to take advantage of. Delighted to have your input on that :) Ed On Thu, Dec 14, 2017 at 9:51 AM Joel Halpern <joel.halp...@ericsson.com> wrote: > I like having good searchable archives. > > > > I have to say that I am completely turned off by the end of the FAQ.
