Thanks Anthony and Savh. We just followed your advice and shall report here for the benefit of others what happens.

Now concerning the advertised status, I am not sure what you mean. The collective email is indicated on our wiki to help contributors contact the arbcom if they wish, and I don't think this should be removed. Do you have in mind anothet kind of advertised status ?

Cheers,

Racconish

Hi Racconish – as Savh says, within the admin interface: Privacy

subscription?" and change to "Confirm and approve."

Turning off the advertised status of the list also helps: it is a
private list so it probably doesn't need to be advertised, in any
case.

Hope this helps,
Anthony
