Re: [libreoffice-users] in response ...

Anne-ology,

You are right, that is the general meaning of moderation. However, when 
we talk about moderation here, we talk about mailing list moderation. 
When we talk about moderator, we refer to a mailing list moderator, not 
to concepts such as panel moderators. A mailing list moderator has a 
specific role, which somewhat relates to the one of a moderator but is 
much more strict: it has been described a bit earlier but let me restate 
it: A mailing list moderator is in charge of the management of the 
mailing list. This role mostly includes moderating emails, which means:
- finding legitimate emails of posters who are not subscribed to the 
mailing list and moderating them as in publishing them to the list (NOT 
REPLYING TO THEM FIRST)
- rejecting incoming illegitimate emails, such as spam.

Another role of the list moderator usually (but not always) involves:
- adding or unsubscribing email addresses per request of their owner
- helping mailing list subscribers with similar tasks or technical 
issues directly related to their mailing list subscription
- reminding everyone to be courteous
- following the netiquette (http://www.netiquette.org) and reminding 
mailing list subscribers to comply with it.

Among all these points only the last two may relate somewhat more the 
broader meaning of "moderation".

In short your daily task is not one moderation but rather one of 
technical management. It also implies that you know how to post properly 
and understand the concept of mailing list discussion threads. From my 
perspective it seems you are not familiar with the concept,or that you 
perhaps have no desire to become acquainted with these notions which 
would be problematic for a mailing list moderator. Hence, there is no 
need to "clean" any "cruft from an email. Signs, mentions of date, time, 
etc. in an email are part of its information and may form a part of the 
thread. We need that. I notice you have managed to start a new thread 
"Re: [libreoffice-users] in response ..." that is not integrated with 
the original thread. This is not correct and you seem to do this for 
each one of your reply.

Below is one page belonging to another community that may be helpful to 
you:

Hope this helps,
