Several weeks ago the list was put on a moderated status due to a flame war
that erupted.
As time went by I relaxed the moderation adding back a few folks at a time
to the non-moderated
status. Before this latest flame war erupted not everyone had been
restored to a non-moderated status.
I'd rather not moderate the list but will once again do so, if it erupts
again. Moderation of the list
is within USGenWeb guidelines.
The guidelines state that all USGenWeb site hosts must be subscribed to the
state's mailing list. The
guidelines make no mention one way or the other whether folks have the
right to post to the mailing list.
For that reason some states have set up two lists - one is an announce only
list, where one must belong
to receive items that bear on the State project or the USGenWeb Project and
another list were participation
is voluntary and items pertaining to the State, political discussion and
the like can be held.
