[Phpwiki-talk] Meta: non-member posts....

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

OK, so I tried to contact the list owner and haven't received any
replies.  I submitted a ticket to the SF.net admins, but they won't
step in unless I try to do something like take over the project
entirely.  As the project itself isn't abandoned, it's just an issue
with the active listserver, this seems like a completely inappropriate
thing to try.  Is there anyone with administrative access to the
listserver?

Summary: ML services issue

Initial Comment:
I am a SourceForge user, alanhoyle, on a couple of
projects (OperaHotlist2HTML primarily).  I also use
phpwiki.

The phpwiki-talk list has been getting spammed by non-
list members.  I made a request to the list and have
attempted to contact the list owner in order to change
the setting for posts by non-list members:  either to
require moderation or reject them outright, but I
haven't received any response from the owner/moderator.
I also posted to the list itself, and all responses
were positive.

Can this change be made by an administrator?

Thanks, alan

Greetings,

We do not step into project administration issues. If the
project won't make the change, you're only option to make it
yourself is to request an Abandoned Project Takeover and to
then make the change. Short of that, either unsubscribe from
the list or do some additional local filtering on mail from
that list.

Thank you,

David Burley

Greetings,

To attempt to takeover an existing project you must submit a new
project registration using the same UNIX name that you desire
(whether the project is taken or not does not matter). To submit
a new project registration, log in to the SourceForge.net website
and then use the Create Project link under the Projects toplevel
navigation option.

Do note that this process can take some time (typically up to 3
weeks), and that if you are in a hurry, you may be best served by
registering a new project with a unique UNIX name. Should you
require further assistance, please submit a new Support Request.

This process also applies to users who have lost control of their
projects due to another developer hijacking the project or losing
access to their old user account.

Thank you,

SourceForge.net Support
