Wikitroid:Administrators' Mailing List

A note to users: This is NOT the place to ask the admins general question about, say, editing help. For more information about what this mailing list is for, please continue reading.

Wikitroid's Administrators' Mailing List, AKA Wikitroid-Admins-List, is a private, internal mailing list used for communication amongst Wikitroid's administrators. It was set up by FastLizard4 and runs off of his server.

The general list information page can be found here.

Although this mailing list should not be used by regular users to ask general questions, if you have an issue that you'd like to bring up with the administrators and you don't feel comfortable bringing the issue up on a talk page, please email the list at: wikitroid-admins-list [at] fastlizard4 [dot] org.

Purpose and Synopsis
The purpose of the mailing list is to allow Wikitroid's administrators to discuss sensitive issues that, for whatever reason, cannot be discussed in public on, say, a Wikitroid talk page. This is not intended to replace talk page discussion, and the mailing list should only be used to discuss issues that cannot be discussed on the wiki.

The mailing list is therefore similar in function to the #wikia-metroid-admins admins-only IRC channel, but unlike IRC, mailing lists don't require everyone to be online at the same time to discuss an issue, as emails can be read and replied to at leisure. In addition, all emails sent on the list are archived and stored for future reference.

Only current Wikitroid admins may subscribe to the list and receive the messages sent to it. Likewise, all emails sent to the list are then sent on to all subscribed admins.

Anyone, even non-admins, can send an email to the list, but if you're not subscribed to the list, your email will be held for review before being sent on (to stop spam). If you are subscribed, your emails will automatically be approved and sent on to everyone else.

Since the list may only be subscribed to by current admins, all newly promoted admins are asked to subscribe to the list. All admins that are resigning their rights should also unsubscribe from the list, and if your rights are revoked (e.g., for disciplinary action), your subscription to the mailing list will also be revoked.

Subscribing to the list
