I wasn't going to join in, not wanting to affect 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.
