Other pros: * Prevents lots of "can we put this user on moderation, please?" messages. * Stops other people being confused when the now moderated person's emails start coming through in bunches several hours after they were sent. Personally, I am in favour of such announcements. If you aren't announcing it publicly, it is an absolute must to inform the affected person privately - I was moderated on foundation-l once a while back and the first I knew of it was when my emails started bouncing back as being held in the queue. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
