Ever notice that people who get stuck in an intersection are running a red light? Anybody who wanted to complain would hav a solid ten or fifteen seconds to catch a crime in the act with a photo that includes a license plate (maybe two) and a traffic light in the same shot. So, if you cannot finish crossing an intersection before a light changes, then do not start.

If you have a point that is within the scope of this mailing list, then make it. Please stop sending emails like this.
Agreed. Jay, the last time I went through the moderation queue, there were 15 messages from you. Could you please send less messages, and make them more relevant?
Thanks, Steve (mod)

Less messages? If someone is on moderation, their messages will pile up until they are moderated (also giving people the impression that someone is sending messages through all at once), so it is unfair to put that requirement on someone on moderation. If the messages are irrelevant, why are the moderators letting them through? Or are the moderators just there to stop spam? Also, some of those messages were a day old. Maybe the moderators of this list need to start a thread to discuss what the subscribers to the list want to see in terms of moderation, including how quickly messages to the list should be moderated (is a day's delay acceptable? A week's delay? What sort of things should be moderated?).

One message someone rejected was about words for cluebot to eat. Maybe that should go to tech, and only tech. It certainly would help if I got rejection notices that were not botic. I do not find moderation notices very helpful, because it actually encourages me to get beyond ten on a one day a week burst, in order to stop them.

Cluebot has nothing to do with the tech team, it is run by an individual volunteer. The Cluebot user account talk page is the best place to make recommendations about how to improve the bot.

Wikipedia is not censored, and obvious signs of personal attacks that nobody should hav to delete more than once are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ClueBot/Source#Score_list This is where they come from, I think: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Crispy1989#New_Dataset_Contribution_Interf... There is a protocol for contributing, because vandals would either delete it or add innocuous words to it. It's up to over 47000 edits.
