May I ask you to approve my last posting shown below to WikiEN-l?
Your posts are through and you're unmoderated. I forgot to check wikien-l this week and it looks like everyone else did too ...
Our apologies to all those whose messages have been held up in the queue, I'm applying the plunger now.
(wikien-l mods! There's less completely fucked-up penis spam! Really! Well, a bit less! Come on in, the sewage is fine!)

:D
I remember when my posts took days to get on to wikien-l. Now I've got my moderated flag dropped too :) Shouldn't there be a page on en:wp or meta where people can request their moderate flag on a mailing list to be dropped? And from memory, wikipedia-l doesn't auto-moderate.

Another page to look at isn't going to make us more efficient ... it's gathering the strength to look at the mod page.
<PhilSandifer> You didn't tell me Wiki-EN got the most fucked up penis spam ever. <PhilSandifer> I now have a word file just of terrifying penis spam. <PhilSandifer> I blame you! <PhilSandifer> YOU MADE ME READ THE SENTENCE "After you cum with Spermamax she will be looking for her underwear one hour in the ocean of your sperm."
And from memory, wikipedia-l doesn't auto-moderate.
We were originally unmoderated, then the spam got too awful so we made it members-only, then we got persistent trolls from hell who morphed to stay on the list, so we made it moderated-for-first-post. And it's the official sewer for en: anyway, so keeping the discussion high quality is harder work than it looks.
Thankfully it's been of remarkably high standard of late. I'm tempted to switch off the mod-for-first-post and see if we drown in crap again, since it's making a bit much trouble for good posters. I think I'll go do that, actually.

Can't you just anoint a few more mods, I'm sure you could find a few guys you could trust. I like the mod-for-first-post thing.

It appears they burn out way quickly. We can always switch it back on if we start drowning in crap.
