"edk2-discuss" list settings change
Laszlo Ersek
Hi,
our intent on edk2-discuss seems to have been to *avoid* moderating messages. The list description used to include the sentence "Basically unmoderated". However, this has not been working in practice. Multiple messages have been held recently for approval (from non-members as I gather). Worse, I don't seem to have received *any* moderation notifications wrt. edk2-discuss -- and so I assume others have neither?... Thus, the config that has been in effect seems to have triggered a corner case in groups.io. Namely, "new members not moderated", in combination with our general "allow nonmembers to post" setting -- which holds nonmember messages for moderation rather than rejecting them --, appears to hold nonmember messages for moderation *without* notifying moderators in email. This is of course the worst possible experience for non-member posters (their messages can be hidden indefinitely from the list!). For this reason, I've now changed the edk2-discuss settings as follows, in order to match the edk2-devel settings (where I *do* get mod notifications): - remove the "Basically unmoderated" sentence from the edk2-discuss list description --> the resultant (remaining) description is: "General discussions around TianoCore topics. Post here if you're not sure which list to use." <https://edk2.groups.io/g/discuss/> - flip "new members" from "not moderated" to "moderated; unmoderate after 1 approved message". Please let me know if something breaks or deteriorates as a result of the above. Thanks Laszlo
