I think It's not so much the reports themselves that people are really
complaining about. It's when people reply to said reports.

May
Hi everyone,
Could I first of all please ask you all to calm down? From what I have
seen, the babble and thread reports have been coming on list now for years
and I haven't really seen anyone complain up until this point. Though that
doesn't mean to say there hasn't been any. I will stand corrected if I am
wrong.
Although I find it interesting to read through them I can see both sides
here. Although this is a games list I am sure Jim will have okayed these
emails with the list moderators and owners and said moderators and owners
will have allowed such postings for a reason. To me, it can come across as
a fun bantering contest with bragging rights about who can post the most
or least messages on list. However, I can also see the other side in that
trying to beat a message posting score can lead to unnecessary messages
such as one-liners and days of talk about these reports coming on list.
I think I will have to review this situation with Thomas and see where we
go from here. If it is really so inconvenient then we will, I'm sure, come
to some agreement.
However, calling people childish and irresponsible isn't the way to ask
for something. Constructive criticism is one thing, flaming is another. So
can we please remember that when posting and maybe not post immediately as
soon as your anger and frustration flares up.
Thanks.
Regards,
Damien Pendleton,
Co-Moderator.

I completely agree with Fred here.
One reason I don't follow this list much is because of all the crap
messages with no real content sent to list, such as the babel report
replies. I am only monitoring right now to check feedback for Ryans soon
to be excellent boxing game.
We would have more developers on this list chiming in and helping with
constructive ideas if there wasn't so much meaningless fluff in my
opinion.
Running a list that stays on topic and minimizes crap posts is not an
easy thing, I know that, but there really is no point at all in the babel
urination contest.
Not only is conversation about who has the most posts meaningless, but
it leads to one line and even sometimes one word emails to list.
I don't mean to sound like a cranky old man here, but I hate to see a
resource like the gamers list not reach its full potential when we have
so few outlets for discussing our shared interest.
Later,
