Thread: Please stop approving obvious spam...
Whoever approved this was asleep at the switch; and the same for the spam from the same address a few days ago in pgsql-admin.

I haven't got access to the list to check the email address, but yes, I'm pretty sure that was moderated. -- Thom Brown Twitter: @darkixion IRC (freenode): dark_ixion Registered Linux user: #516935

I just checked the moderation queue of -hackers, which had about 40 unmoderated messages (all but three was spam). Well over half of these were messages that were spam but that looked like responses to proper thread (subject line actually active on the lists within the past day or two). My guess is somebody got slightly trigger-happy and only checked the subject and not the contents. AFAIK, this is a new "type" of spam that hasn't shown up before - at least I haven't seen it. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

I don't mind taking on more moderation if it becomes necessary. I tend to moderate as they come in (when I'm awake obviously). -- Thom Brown Twitter: @darkixion IRC (freenode): dark_ixion Registered Linux user: #516935
