RE: Request for Comments: Moderation System

Justin,
 
The change in the moderation system is the only reason I haven't upgraded yet..
I can understand that the moderation system was not really a moderation system at all and that dadamail can benefit from having a real moderation system, so what you did was a logical step.
However I and probably many others 'misused' the system for other purposes, mainly for adding 'send only' members.
 
In my opinion you're taking it a bit too far or making it to complicated.
How about leaving the moderation system as it is now and adding a seperate 'Alias' list, in this list I can add email addresses which are allowed to send messages but will not receive them.
 
Thanks for taking the time to change this as I know you already put huge amounts of time in it...
 
BTW. It seems you're having a white christmas, it is all over the news, even here in Europe.... 
 
Alfred

Onderwerp: [dadadev] Request for Comments: Moderation System

Hello all,�

I know that some people were surprised at the change in the moderation system. Honestly, I had no idea how many people were using the old moderation system - I don't get as much feedback on Dada Mail that I would like, so it's sort of like feeling my way in the dark when it comes to features and what I should add/work on/remove.�

So, I'm probably going to give the moderation system a good changing - it's currently not as useful as I wish it was.�

Currently, it looks like this:�


The problem with the current is people were relying on the "Moderation List" to be able to send a message to basically an announcement list, from an email address other than the list owner.�

So, something like that feature should be put back in, as well as some other things. Here's what I propose:�


In this configuration, a message can be moderated by the list owner, the separate, "moderation" list, and/or by part of the mailing list itself.�

There's also an option to accept messages that aren't from people actually subscribed to the list. I know some people would like to use the discussion list sort of as a way for many people to send to just a few people� - sort of like a *really* complicated aliased email address that points to a bunch of people.�

The, "Allow moderator list to send messages to the entire list" option should basically do what the initial moderation system did.�

Any thoughts? Anything missing? Anything too complicated?�

Cheers,�
