Sometime on Nov 15, q cobbled together some glyphs to say:
Sad day to find out that our list is moderated. *sigh*.
Who told you that the list is moderated?
I got an email saying so.
The list is completely unmoderated. New users are put on moderation when they join to determine if they're real users or not. Once they show a level of cluefulness that only real users can have, they are taken off moderation. If they then start spamming, they are put back onto moderation.
I was not aware of the procedure. I thought we generally consider people sane till proven insane, or something like that. ;)
