<p>Created page with &quot;Present: RL, MM, TM * Administration ** comp.ai.chatgpt: A misformatted RFD was received by the {{news|news.groups.proposals}} moderation system. RL rejected this and attempted to inform the poster by e-mail, but the message bounced. RL therefore informed the poster via a post to {{news|news.groups.proposals}}, but has not yet received a reply. MM managed to get our IP whitelisted from the poster&#039;s mail server; RL to re-send his original e-mail. ** {{news|comp.compil...&quot;</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Present: RL, MM, TM<br /> <br /> * Administration<br /> ** comp.ai.chatgpt: A misformatted RFD was received by the {{news|news.groups.proposals}} moderation system.

MM managed to get our IP whitelisted from the poster&#039;s mail server; RL to re-send his original e-mail.<br /> ** {{news|comp.compilers}}: E-mails from Ivo Gandolfo reporting that his moderation relay server had been reported for spamming, apparently because of a {{news|comp.compilers}} submission (which does not seem to the Board to be spam at all). Ivo attempted to report the issue by e-mail to the {{news|comp.compilers}} moderator but their server is bouncing his messages. TM to try contacting the moderator on Ivo&#039;s behalf.<br /> ** {{news|rec.arts.anime.creative}}: Response to 2nd RFD from someone who may be interested in taking over moderation. MM has replied on {{news|news.groups.proposals}} and is awaiting a reply.<br /> ** {{news|soc.sexuality.general}}: TM to post 2nd RFD (trimmed to 5 cross-posts) and pointers to it from the trimmed groups.<br /> ** {{news|talk.origins}}: E-mails from Todd M. McComb reporting problems posting to the group, which seem similar to those discussed in [[Minutes/2024-07-05]] and [[Minutes/2024-07-12]]. MM attempted to contact the postmaster of the moderation system&#039;s domain but received no response. TM to follow up with the moderator.<br /> * Infrastructure<br /> ** TM to ask Panix admins and users whether they have had any problems with AI scraper botnets.<br /> * Misc<br /> ** E-mail from a background screening company asking to confirm employment details for a client. RL to e-mail JE to ask if this is a legitimate query.<br /> ** E-mail from someone interested in participating in the work of the Board. MM to reply.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Meeting minutes for 2026]]</div>
