I'm informed his emails sent to this list havent come through to the list for nearly 24 hrs, and he has not been notified of having been put on any moderation, and the moderators havent responded to queries sent directly, and havent actioned these moderated emails (deny or approve, doesnt matter) for almost a day.
For those interested defining best practices for our email list moderators, there is an open discussion about the options at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mailing_lists/Guidelines#Second_attempt_... Please do contribute.
Current working practices on lists include never being informed that it happened and never getting a reply to a polite request of why the moderation is in place, along with there being no possibility of appeal or timely review. More complex issues, such as moderators taking action on participants with whom they are actively involved in disputes, are not covered by any current guideline.
