| ianychoi[m] | fungi: thank u but honestly the moderation queue has so many spams and that's why I couldn't actively check. Any suggestions on dealing with spams on the moderation queue on mailing lists? | 06:03 |
| ianychoi[m] | (finally cleaned >400 e-mails on i18n mailing list moderation queue..) | 06:33 |
| fungi | ianychoi[m]: the only tactic i've found which helps is to spend a minute or two each day to check the queue | 11:14 |
| fungi | ianychoi[m]: i moderate roughly a dozen mailing lists, the openstack-discuss ml gets maybe 25 or so spam posts a day, as long as i don't leave it unchecked it doesn't take that long to catch up | 11:14 |
| fungi | ianychoi[m]: alternatives would be to see if someone else is willing to help with moderating it (frank isn't around any longer i guess? he's still one of the list owners for i18n) | 11:15 |
| fungi | or consider closing down that mailing list and we can configure it to forward any future messages to openstack-discuss | 11:16 |
| fungi | it's averaged fewer than 1 post from a person per month, most of the messages to it are automatic notifications from launchpad about i18n bugs, and not even that many of those either | 11:17 |
| fungi | but for the most part i don't click on every message when looking at moderation queues, i skim the subject lines and reasons they were held, and if it looks like it's probably legitimate i set the radio button for that message to accept, then hit the checkbox at the end which says to discard all messages marked as defer | 11:19 |
| fungi | if there's a message where i think it might be legitimate but i'm not sure, i open the message details for it in a new tab and check the first sentence or two | 11:19 |
| fungi | but that's rare, i've gotten to the point where i can spot the non-spam in amongst all the spam pretty quickly | 11:20 |
| ianychoi[m] | Good morning fungi, thanks a lot for sharing in details. I admit that I wrongly interpreted admin UI so I couldn't decrease the length of pending items. Now there is no pending item on queue | 12:11 |
| ianychoi[m] | Definitely agree with the usage of i18n mailing list and who are current admins - will also investigate considering current volume of translation contributions later | 12:12 |
| fungi | cool, let me know if you need any help! | 12:12 |
| ianychoi[m] | :) | 12:34 |
