Fae's situation with my own, but reading the latest emails he was actually concerned
with the UK list, so I'll go ahead.
Would someone mind taking me off moderation as well? I see what the issue was in the
first place, and will not do it again. I think it has been much more than a year since
then.
Fair enough. You've definitely been more civil of late, so this is a
totally reasonable request.
Beyond my own case, I echo Fae that there really
should be some sort of process and communication with the moderated user about A) what
precisely he or she did, B) whether the moderation is permanent, and C) what he or she can
do to become unmoderated again.
I try to be as open and direct as possible about this when I moderate
somebody with cause—as opposed to simply being moderated by default,
which is the case for all new subscribers. Regardless of why
somebody's flagged for moderation, the way to change that is basically
the same: be nice, and a moderator will probably unflag you when you
either ask or he's see you come through the queue enough to know that
you'll be civil and and won't (say) hijack the list in the name of
Elbonians Against Corruption or whoever they were.
