I wonder if Don Armstrong is available for the moderation job. Personally, I haven't seen enough BS on this list to necessitate any kind of moderation, and I well remember the harm Debian did itself by its agenda-based moderation of Debian-User. What I'd recommend is that everybody do this: When you become convinced that somebody is a [troll | fool | falseflagger | a$$ | headcase], pipe him to /dev/null instead of arguing with him. And when a newbie argues with him, a simple "don't feed the troll" should be sufficient. You know what's worse than a multiplicity of trolls? Agenda based moderation. And I don't think even Mother Theresa or Mahatma Gandhi could moderate with complete fairness. Just to get the ball rolling, here's how I handled it in procmail: ======================================================= # "Stallman obfuscates gcc" devuan...@spamgourmet.net :0: * ^List-Id:.*dng.lists.dyne.org * ^From.*devuan...@spamgourmet.net $GARBAGE ======================================================= If everyone votes with their filters, we won't need moderation.
