There seems to be lot of spam coming in this newsgroup.
Is it possible to have some mechanism similar to say - slashdot -
wherein mails can be moderated by any of the usual users?
This is required only for people who is posting for the first time
(or people who has been rated spam before). Second post onwards, no
moderation required.
Just wondering.
C.P.L is an unmoderated newsgroup: so there's no content controls on
posts. I don't think that's possible to change. But I haven't gotten
directly near a newsgroup-as-a-newsgroup in eons, so I may be wrong.
If you subscribe to C.P.L as a mailing list instead of a newsgroup, I
believe most of the spam gets filtered out at the mailing list<->news
group gateway by the Python.org spam filters... At least no spam in my
Gmail spam folder appears to be flagged from this group(at a very
brief glance) so they appear to be doing quite well.
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list is the list
subscription page.
(C.P.L and python-list are essentially the same thing: things posted
to the list get forwarded to the newsgroup, and vice-versa)
