Foo is a placeholder
We are familiar with a mailinglist like foo@lists.doman.tld
Subscribe, Unsubscribe
and other user requests go to foo-request@lists.domain.tld
For the pool of moderators there is foo-review@lists.domain.tld
where they can sent there approval (or disapproval) of postings
that need review.
Q: Which postings need review?
A: Postings of subscribers without a established reputation.
Q: How will moderators be informed about a posting needing review?
A: By email from the mailinglist software at server.
The moderator sends her/his judgement as a reply
to foo-review@lists.domain.list
ML S/W then distributes the posting to the whole ML
(or drops the posting (like spam))
Moderators volunteer themself for the task and listmaster
configures that at ML S/W. These are human actions by design.
Q: Will a moderator see postings twice?
A: Mostly no. Some, yes, the postings of reputation below threshold.
Q: What about the regular ML subscribers?
A: Yes, regular citizens.
