Dear veg-raw subscribers I am considering some changes to the way veg-raw is administered. Basically the plan is that all messages would be forwarded without prior screening. Moderation would take place after a message was posted instead of before. If a message did not meet some general posting requirements for behavior and content a warning message concerning the post would be sent. If the subscriber persisted in sending improper messages a further warning would be sent as private email and at some point, probably the third such message, the subscriber would be temporarily suspended from the list. I personally believe that this new format would be an improvement over the current one. It would allow the forwarding of messages to be done automatically and in a timely fashion. It will make it possible to split the different jobs required to maintain the list between different people. Moderation will take place in public and everyone will have a clearer understanding of what is going on. If anyone has thoughts or concerns about the proposed new format please email me privately. I may not have time to respond to every message individually but will take all messages into account. Thank you. Michael
