Re: An idea for a "moderation period" based list server WAS:

This one is complete.. slight modifications to idea..
Your idea is a good one. It would be nice to moderate only those
subscribers who
need to be. Unfortunately, Topica at least, doesn't support subscriber
moderation..
If moderation is performed, it must be performed on the ENTIRE list.
Regarding the vengeance of MTS.. if it comes down to banning him/someone
from
the list.. I suggest the list will have to go into WEB only mode for awhile
to protect
peeps from mass email flooding. (BTW Mike: That is EXTREMELY illegal and
could
cost you a lifetime of computer usage)
As well, once everyone is moved over. I suggest the list be set to
subscriber
verification. This stops perps from coming back under an
alias and taking their vengeance.
A way that requested subscriber moderation can be acheived, is to make any
new subscribers, who are in the requested subscription list, post via RDS
FWD'ing.
By this I mean they send their msgs to the moderator, he/she in
turn, verifies the content, and FWD's it to the list.
This way, any people who are wanting to join the list will have to post a
minimum number of msgs as well as wait the duration of the probationary
period. By probationary period, I mean, whether they post the required
minimum number of posts or not, they are still not subscribed until the
period ends. Also vice versa. They sit tight for the duration, they're
still required to post the min msgs.
This will virtually eliminate the likes of hellions that might make it onto
the list. They get one crude msg in.. They better hope it's a good one and
well worth it, because it will be very difficult to get back on again under
any alias.. Like Cliff said..
How's that sound?
