My policy on approval: I'll approve (in the sense that I will try to
bring it to the list after suitable editing) anything I deem bring
extra information to a topic, as long as it is not in violation of
policy for the thread.  To have a formal policy for a thread, the
thread initiator must state the policy clearly in the initial message
in the thread.

A note on wasting time: Please try to keep the discussions that are
Cc:'ed freebsd-arch based on the messages that actually are approved
to freebsd-arch.  That is, replying to a Cc: you got (instead of
messages sent to the actual list) is a Bad Idea.  I've had to drop a
couple of entire subthreads run between people on the To/Cc list; this
isn't a large hassle for me, but it waste the time of the people
writing.  (I've thought of setting Reply-To for the list, but that
isn't a good solution, so I'll start off with just an appeal for
sense.)

On submissions: All submissions are either approved, or I send a
message to the author explaining why it wasn't approved.  If you don't
get either, get in touch - messages are not supposed to be silently
dropped.

On editing: I will fix minor spelling problems, normalize
formatting/quotations, cut excessive quotation, and possibly fix up
minor, obvious grammatical problems (misplaced commas and similar).
Anything requiring more editing than that will be returned to the
author for re-submission.  I will not do anything that I consider to
change the overall tone of the message.


If you have issues with how I moderate the list or what I do to your
post, please contact me so we can try to work out how to fix it.

Eivind.
