| | 3 | Removing or editing messages in mailman archives is not for the faint-of-heart. |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | If you think you need a message removed or edited, consider: |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | * the message was sent out to a mailing list; there are likely many other copies, not just in the canonical archive |
| | 8 | * if the list was a public list, the archive itself might already be mirrored elsewhere (including on search engines). |
| | 9 | * Removing or editing a message from the "official" list archive can create an impression that the archive is not reliable. |

| | 11 | If, after review of the above points, you still think you really need a message removed or edited from a mailing list archive hosted by May First/People Link, you should [/newticket open a ticket with the request]. Remember that the ticket will be a public ticket; posting full details about what needs to be removed will likely compound whatever problem you're trying to resolve. Post the ticket generically, and send details off-site to the person assigned to the ticket. |
