Given this, I'm going to change how the
moderation of this list is
handled a little bit moving forward. Previously, there has been no
hands-on moderation of this list.
Then how come I had two posts returned to me last week with the message:
5.x.0 - Message bounced by administrator
They were arguably trivial and off-topic, so I accepted that decision.
But
now someone says that decision wasn't being
made?
If there are three moderators on this list, are all of them on the same
page
about what the moderation policy is or isn't?
Will they be in the future?

I'll respond to other things shortly, but just got home and saw this
and wanted to get to it right away.
If your message was bounced, it's a bug with the listserv, and not one
of us. Currently, there is absolutely no active moderation on this
list with the exception that messages sent by non-members are
screened, and sometimes, the auto-administration filters catch and
discard messages that have the list only as an implicit destination
(i.e., on the cc or bcc line.) I am 100% positive about this - we
don't currently have the technical ability to screen posts from people
who aren't flagged +moderate, and I just checked and you are not and
haven't been flagged +moderate.

While I can't speak for this list, I can confirm that we have periodically
had similar problems with some of the Enwp Arbcom mailing lists - that is,
posts being bounced for no apparent reason. We've also had people
mysteriously wind up on our moderation list when we definitely didn't add
them. (And for the record, I've not volunteered to moderate this list
because I already moderate half a dozen other ones.)
