Greetings.
I advise to moderate people who have never posted to this mailing-list.
It is bad enough that there is only a single official mailing-list; and
Having issues with that single one will even worse.
Please advise.
Kindly,
Schimon

Greetings Schimon,
Thank you for raising this.
I'm concerned that moderating all first-time posters may be worse than the
problem it aims to solve. Reviewing the archives, there appear to be only
six or seven spam messages in the past year, though admittedly several were
recent.
There's a balance to strike between preventing spam and remaining welcoming
to new contributors. At present, I'm not convinced stronger moderation
would be beneficial, though it's something we should continue to monitor.
Kind regards,
Guus

I agree.
Moderation of first posters has major risks, especially if the
moderators are idle, or in case of an issue which moderators are not
aware of.
If moderation be concluded, I am willing to moderate messages of
first-time posters, six days per week, fifteen hours per day.
Kind reagrds,
Schimon
