It needs currently a moderator approval to be subscribed, </div><div>but new users are waiting already for more then a week....</div><div><br></div><div>this is strange and should be changed.</div><div><br></div><div>If moderation is really required, i suggest to nominate more</div><div>moderators, cause right now there are only two - Rick Falkvinge himself, </div><div>who is probably very busy and have not much time to moderate the</div><div>new user requests, and Richie Olsson, who is PP-SE CTO and to whom</div><div>probably the same time restriction apply. </div><div><br></div><div>For the record: actually we have 485 subscribed emails addresses</div><div>here on the list. - by all possible means, the moderation need more</div><div>than just two people, if it is intended at all... (I think it should be so, </div><div>that the spam-accounts needs to be pruned fast, so we will need </div><div>someone who is able to do this, if we open this list up...)</div><div><br></div><div>sincerely, </div><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; ">Gregory Engels</span></font></div><div>International Coordinator</div><div>Pirate Party of Germany</div><div><br></div><div>mobile: +49 172 853 44 91</div><div><a href="skype:gregory.engels">skype:gregory.engels</a></div><div><a href="jabber:dichter@jabber.piratenpartei.de">jabber:dichter@jabber.piratenpartei.de</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div><br></body></html>
