Sometime Today, KG cobbled together some glyphs to say:
5 persons - and all these are spam prevention measures. Breach of etiquette and rules is dealt with by polite warnings or flames, not by putting the list member in moderation jail
New members are in moderation until they show a level of cluefulness. Old members who repeatedly violate list etiquette are put into moderation jail.
this is bad. The first post of a new member should be moderated to check if he is not a spammer. Old members who breach etiquette should be flamed - not moderated. I personally pledge to make life so miserable for these guys that they desist. Admins - please dont jail ppl for breach of etiquette - it is irritating, but not a crime. I prefer a topposting, crossposting linux guy to a windoze guy.
