A question for the participants in wikien-l:
The listmods would quite like to turn on the flag whereby messages
from non-subscribers are automatically rejected or discarded.
* It would reduce the spamload and thus make moderation faster.
* It would avoid situations where people post unsubscribed, others
reply to the list, and the original poster doesn't get the replies.
* wikien-l isn't unblock-l any more, and for general outside contact
we have info(a)wikimedia.org. So there doesn't appear to be an obvious
need for it.
Against:
* the Wikipedia principle of allowing everything and only closing
things off as it becomes *necessary*. This is more a "mod pain in the
backside" and "some increase in listmod efficiency" thing.
So we want to run it past the list, you the participants we serve,
first. For/against and why? (This is not quite a straw poll.)

This is the kind of list where there is no reason not to be subscribed if
you want to participate (unlike unblock-l, arbcom-l etc). I agree with the
proposal.
