We support this sensible CFV. It will
- Allow reasonable approaches to moderation. Specifically, it won't
prevent the use of a passlist, speeding much discussion.

An outright lie, and anyone reading the text of the CFV will easily
see. The ONLY exception which it allows to the ban on poster identity
being taken into consideration is the ban list.

The CFV clearly uses "moderation" as a polite euphemism for "rejection". If
you feel there's a risk of confusion, you could ask Mark to rephrase the CFV
to "Rejection of posts will be carried out solely according to their
content, and not the identity of the author".

UKLM successfully operates moderation-by-content *and* a whitelist, so
there's no fundamental problem with that combination. If URCM moderators
were to adopt a similar approach, they would solve 90% of their problems at
a stroke.
