Lisa,
Were you behind the unexplained 'ban' I became subjected to between September last year and September this?
I was originally advised my posts would be 'moderated', but for the next 12 months even the tamest of submissions didn't make it past somebody's all seeing eye,
Many thanks,
Paul Cardin

Just following up on the situation on Friday when JiscMail Helpline removed a message posted to this list.
We were contacted on Friday by the Cabinet Office about the post a subscriber made to the JiscMail list, which forwarded content which originated from the Cabinet Office.
The archives of the DATA-PROTECTION JiscMail list are open to the public, and as a result the content would be available in the public domain via the list archives.
The Cabinet Office asked us to remove the message from the archive as it was not intended for public release at this time. The message seemed to contain government content that had been sent originally to a restricted list, and so we decided it was appropriate to comply with the request and remove it from the archive.
It is our normal policy to respond in this way to requests by an author to remove content which has been posted without their consent. When using JiscMail subscribers should ensure that they have permission from the message author before forwarding to lists in case of copyright, sensitivity or confidentiality.
Our webpages on copyright issues, ethics & etiquette reiterate this point:

We have answered a number of questions by email and directly on twitter, and were asked to post to the list. The list owners are happy for this message to be posted, but would prefer any follow up questions to be directed to us at JiscMail helpline [log in to unmask] and *not* the list as we are not subscribers.
Kind regards
Lisa
