It's quite a task to moderate a list with thousands of members, so people who have shown not to be needing moderation are left through automatically. That's the only thing "special" about them. They can not say "almost anything they want" because that would just get them immediately back off the whitelist. This is actually no "dark underside" but a fact that is clearly explained in the list information - which by the way also explains all other reasons for banning posts. > Meanwhile you or I would have messages banned for any > of a dozen reasons. But all sane reasons. I've been reading enough newsgroups to see what LUG would look like without moderation, and I prefer it with. And it sure beats mailing people privately to ask them to stop talking about something because you don't like the subject, which is how it works on Logic_Cafe. Now, let's start a "Logic 7.1 probably sucks" thread here as well as a "LUG members are repressed" thread, very useful indeed and at least here you can. Unless the owner mails you to stop talking about it of course, but with these subjects he probably won't. Maurits.
