I can only see two things that can really help slow down/stop/revert the spiral:
1) Moderation. Get rid of the serial trollers/flamers 2) Get more devs and "good" people to join and be active.
For your last point: Thats putting the horse behind the cart. Most devs and/or skilled users leave -general just because it has become such a dump. Concerning moderation: See my last mail. Some users will always going head first into heated discussions. The -discussion mailing list could serve as an outlet for this need, rendering the other list more productive via being moderated; The rule wouldn't be "shut up or be banned", which shouldn't really be necessary for rational folks like us, but "shut up or take this to -discussion" with banning as ultima ratio. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJQZJw4AAoJENVg3RpC7ZC8o6YQANGIaXG7lURFDQp5ji82bopt nhN6brOcQkBNKeGw2l37f8jTwWwggU5H/PFogOSRGxuN3pYn4Q3xznNFwqA5OmrS GnnqfEX/AUIhN41EOqC3VgrPNomrJg79PB4C37e+k6TbW8T6yBTYBJdtdkksiT+S F/d3rwHeHSYt07EAWFmCoKg18yxW8yGt7dvsnWvm+DLCe9VkfSxHP1zDgMr31ZX5 +33PAG7JZIUp6olJ0Oqp83mJexaJiU0rO7jp8gBKWe02XklAGTxElGqRXtSdaR8O jBEJMIhx2fw84cZP36GYpK1QV3hAInNuWHju9ce4zxI4HJ7vkbGkspz80Kwv76H/ hRo/DjUChyb3seM3f7VNupBKznKx8EhsoUWa+Wem0xMNAJVsYVDWcpEeyGtP5Rl5 5abUxk1/vg2K228TKXc80wc2a0U3HbaoV22sLCDCGzEj//vWpvSY7Q3CEyi8S1+H OCY5KhBZR1f8tkWF0B2bf2J8twy1VRYWLRMLey4/RJitHRXyWKIjD5JciWeNk3SW IU9hPfNjlKm9cE+56e3MvB58Zav5QtdtcL123SqBe1hArHy9Nn7m6VrUcHeF4Orv BFQJMUJU1XUQR/g0z/zODYqSF6Yvmu/gfWSNM6nTOmb4Mrj6qqo1iIjGwEwMOSaT OQOeBbPtGDwlfL/Hmf0L =nJzp -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
