Dear Kavya, The CCP4BB is a closed community, in the sense that a user must subscribe to the list before being able to post and that subscription requests are handled manually rather than being granted by default. This is generally sufficient to stop spam, irrelevant advertisements and blatant "trolling". It is a credit to the subscribers that this system works. We are a self-governing community in which it is only natural that contentious messages generate vigorous responses. Only very rarely have subscriptions been cancelled because of an abuse of the system. Indeed in most such cases this has been a result of the subscriber's email account being hacked and used without their permission.
The sort of "comment removed" type moderation you might see on e.g. newspaper websites is neither possible on our email-based Bulletin Board, nor I believe desirable, as it goes against the spirit of the CCP4BB. -- David On 30 October 2012 05:15, Kavyashree Manjunath <ka...@ssl.serc.iisc.in>wrote: > Dear CCP4 users, > > It is extremely sad that CCP4BB has failed to moderate/screen > for such spam mails! > > Thanks > kavya > > > > Dear Friends,**** > > > > > > > > There is no need to apply to this position, we suggest.
