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.
