I'm reasonably new to the email list having only been a member for less then a month but the reason why I'm a member of the list is because it at least takes *some* working knowledge of how lists work (no matter how simple) for people to interact on it. Forums are always riddled with kids and idiots.
We need some place for the dedicated admins to talk, and this is it. Unless the Steam forums is going to make a board specific to 'dedicated admins' with permissions on who and who can't access it this email list is the easiest way. I doubt Steam would go through all the hassle of configuring permissions, then having to deal with the whiny snots running a server on their parents cable internet connection calling themselves an admin and being able to access said board as well. There is just no replacement for an email list that by it's very nature, filters out the annoyances. -Matt 2009/2/11 Scott <scottish2c...@gmail.com> > oh great i just went and looked at the forums to see if they are that bad! > and yes they are. its a bunch of kids saying "why my server no wrk on my > computor." ahhh valve why do you do this stuff to us. these emails were > vital to me they showed me that i wasn't alone in issues i was having and > gave me fixes normaily way before i had a problem. also over all, most > everyone on here knows what they are doing so it was a quick way i could > find out what was going on every day with out the spam of 12 year olds > asking how to run a server on there home computer over and over again. > errrrr > > 2009/2/11 Scott <scottish2c...@gmail.com> > > > no this cant be happening. > > > > 2009/2/11 DontWannaName! <dontwannaname...@yahoo.com> > > > > Ya Burton has always been tonjohn.
