I'm an old archlinux user (first installation back in december 2008), and for a long time, I was very satisfied with arch-general. But some people - can we define them as bottom holes ? - are rotting this mailing list, and the community too.
Do what the Linux kernel does: ignore the mails. Most mail clients have an option to mute a thread.
I prefer the more pragmatic approach: Simply ban some people from the list to make it quiet again.
That's not more pragmatic,
It is. Person X is annoying everyone, so person X can't post any longer.
that's more authoritarian, but whatever floats your boat; if you want to squash dissidence, that's certainly the way.
I want to squash the noise that has turned this list from a helpful and nice place to discuss with developers and users into the place it has been the last few days.
