Aren't there any moderators who can kick off trouble makers ?
That's not how MLs work. Unfortunately
I think there are list management software that can allows moderation But there should be someone willing to cope with that boring task of being the gate keeper.
I really think that we should ban peopple more often (if there was a temporary ban, even better).
We already have a moderated channel. Its called the Arch forums (bbs.archlinux.org). Unfortunately the SNR there is worse than here (speaking as a mod), at least prior to this systemd/LP stuff.
Advantages of forums - at least 3 of those posting here on the ML would have been given a short holiday for type of post.
Disadvantage - to put it bluntly, too many clueless users. Not that it seems the ML is any different these last few days.
Choose your poison.
I tend to prefer systems that provide mailing lists and forums as two separate frontends to the same data. As far as ML noise goes, that's what killfiles and client-side filters are for, no? People can (or at least should be able to) configure their mailreaders to mute people or topics they want to mute. -- Jeremiah Dodds blog : http://jdodds.github.com github : https://github.com/jdodds freenode : exhortatory twitter : kaens
