asy to specify what's on- and off-topic for each list, and it would be friendlier than moderation, just like it's friendlier for IRC ops to ask you nicely to switch channels than to simply kick you out. --Thomas Tuttle -- Thomas Tuttle - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.ttuttle.net/ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-dev] Smoother moderation scheme? (was: ML changes)

er a delay. Perhaps the delay doubles each time the poster is sent to the Blacklisted state. The only people eligible to moderate are devs in the whitelisted state. Questions? Comments?

to -dev, it will look like you're just excluding non-devs for no reason. If -dev becomes a place where devs truly need an uninterrupted place to discuss things, then you could fairly say that the devs need the moderation to work efficiently.
