Dear Ondro,

It is our policy to not remove messages after they have been willingfully
posted by their authors. The message you point, which was not sent by you, is
acceptable according to our code of conduct and will not be removed either.

I hope that you understand our choice. Removal would anyway be uneffective as
independant third parties have their own archives of our mailing lists.

Lastly, although this advice comes too late, to avoid increasing the page rank
of your archived message in search engines you can refer to it through its
message ID.

Best regards,

Hi all,

following our previous disucssion about post removals, if a FAQ is written (I
can help, but where should we put it?), I suggest to add the above
recommendation. In the case I answered I suppose that the reason for removal
request was that this discussion appears very high in a Google search made on
the name of the poster.

Have a nice day,

I would put it under MailingLists and have a link to it off the
lists.d.o page.

Also, I think an example of what you mean by the message ID would be
handy, so everyone knows what you mean. e.g.

You will find the Message ID for your email in the list archives.  For
example, if your email was http://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/2008/msg00004.html
you can see by looking at the lines below the title of the email but
above the general body that its message id is
 <20081023220125.GA10384 <at> schmehl.info>

That way everyone knows its "that thing" and not some other thing.
Choosing are relatively innocent email like from from Debian announce is
a good idea too.

 - Craig

Hi all,

How about this?

<toc-add-entry name="removal">Requests for removal of messages in our archive</toc-add-entry>

<p>It is our policy to not remove messages after they have been willfully
posted by their authors. Please note that by sending a request on our public
mailing lists you might increase the attention of spammers and search engines
on the addresses and contents you request for deletion. We recommend to refer
messages by their <q>Message-id</q>, which is displayed between the message and
its title in our archives. For instance, the message ID of the email announcing
the <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-announce/2007/msg00002.html>"release of
Etch</a> is <q>20070408131536.GE2859 <at> schmehl.info</q>. Our archive can be <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/">searched by Message-ID</a>.</p>

<p>When answering publicly to a request for removal that did not follow this
advice, you can also minimize the inconvenience for the requester by avoiding
to quote URLs and use Message-IDs instead. In addition, you can reduce the 
occurrence of the requester's email address in our archive by using the blind
carbon-copy (BCC) function in you mailer, and noticing the other list members
by a small header like <q>[John Doe was BCC'd]</q>.</p>

Have a nice day,

Hi Pierre,

Does that mean that the listmasters will really remove his posts if he manages
to do what you told him? If not, we should better not make advices that sound
like promises.

Also I would like to recommend to not increase the page rank of messages
requested for removal by not quoting their full web address…

Have a nice day,

this is what we send to such requests:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Debian-Listarchives-Policy is to NOT remove or alter any postings 
if they are published.

Even if we would, it wouldn't help, as our lists are archived
elsewhere, so once an email has been accepted it is out in the wild
with its entire content and addresses and theres no way to get it
back.

The one exception to this rule is, when the posting is clearly spam.
In that case press the 'Report as spam' button at the top of the page
to nominate the posting for reviewing. 

Please see http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#disclaimer,
http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/disclaimer and
http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ListMaster/ListArchiveSpam
for more information
cord <at> liszt:~$ cat debian-listarchives
