[WikiEN-l] Who's moderated?

[Avi]

Maybe I'm missing something, but since when have we been paying for
bandwidth, server space, and admin time that we can demand a full
accounting? From what I understand, this list is owned by the wikimedia
foundation, which has given liberal leeway to its users to join, post, and
moderate the list. However, liberal leeway and carte blanche are completely
different things.

List admins have been given the duty to ensure that the e-mail list runs as
smoothly as possible; which they have done in the main. They are not
necessarily arbiters of equity or democracy; that is not their function.

If someone, such as Marc, has a specific issue with the list, I am certain
that a request may be made to the wikimedia foundation, likely the legal
department.

Furthermore, the privacy concerns raised by asking for a list of moderated
members are rather substantial.

Remember, even as community members, we are still guests.
