I hadn't thought of that - email addies munged by the moderation software sounds a good idea....I wonder how far this could be taken - would it, for example, be possible for only the robo-moderation software to know the "real addresses" of posters - so if a post is returned it automatically unmungs the address without a human being ever having to know the true address? Not sure about that. Just throwing out ideas here - don't even know if any software is out there capable of doing this. Some people have a more protective stance on their email addresses than others - and this in itself might put them off a moderated group...or would the moderators feel that if they are trusted enough to moderate the group they should be trusted to have all the "real" email addresses of posters? Or would the munging be so obvious that everyone could work out the address anyway? Or does any of this matter to the average poster? It might not matter to the average poster but it will matter to _some_ posters, and it _should_ matter to the moderators. It occurs to me that privacy laws in many places actually require us to say exactly how we will use (and protect - or not: in some places it's ok not to protect personal information but the suppliers of that information need to know that is what happens) these addresses. -- derek |
