Up until today, I could cancel spam messages to mozilla.reviewers, but now I need to enter a news server admin name and password. Yet I just canceled such a spam message over in mozilla.jseng. What's up? Can I get cancel privileges in m.reviewers restored? Thanks, /be

I compared the access control rules for mozilla.jseng and mozilla.reviewers and they are identical. If you're coming from the mozilla.org domain you will have a moderator role and moderator is defined as having "cancel" permissions. Can you try again? If not please let me know what the article number is so I can do more investigating.

brendan, are you using a different client than before? From what I understand, Netscape doesn't let you delete other people's posts although real newsreaders do (like trn). Not sure whether mozilla does or not.

I can cancel when reading via snews://news.mozilla.org, using Netscape 4.72 on Windows at home. I think 4.x on Unix just didn't handle canceling. /be

Moving to nobody until we have better picture of where we'll be going with mozilla.org support by IC.
