Hi Greg -
You're barking up the wrong tree here: none of us as individuals are
involved in moderating wiki-en-L. The moderators are found here:
As a general suggestion, you may find you have more success in having your
posts accepted if you present your larger point rather than making a pithy
comment that is out of context.

I am asking now for a third time about a post of mine
intended for the
WikiEN-l mailing list. I have not been given the courtesy of a moderator's
reply for over 23 hours. Is this the practice of "list moderation", or is
it de facto banning?
While my comment may have been a bit snarky, my larger point is still a
valid concern -- what does the Wikipedia community have to say about
detecting a corporate counter-attack on a competitor's well-placed links in
Wikipedia? If I worked for Microsoft, would it be beyond comprehension that
I might spam-link Wikipedia with
Apple.com links, in hopes of getting all
6,700+ links to Apple auto-magically removed?
Of course, then I'm sure a well-written lawyer's letter from Apple to the
Wikimedia Foundation might lift the Apple name off the spam blacklist. But
then, wouldn't that then be a sort of "free license" to Apple to spam
links
as much as they want, because it could always be blamed on "the competition
running a joe job"?

Amazing how few people realise that we're also perfectly capable of
blacklisting their websites, and will do so without hesitation should a
spambot show up. Heck, we give people a hard time for putting in half a
dozen of the same links.

If someone were to write a spambot script that spammed Wikipedia with
outbound links to
Wikia.com, would the
Wikia.com domain (finally) get placed
on the blacklist?
