In this case, I thought that the guy has anyway to be a member of "yade-users" to get the answers to his question (in his emails like me). In fact, I just realized that it is certainly possible just browsing the Launchpad interface web pages...
I can see the point now, thanks. ________________________________ From: Yade-dev [yade-dev-bounces+jerome.duriez=ucalgary...@lists.launchpad.net] on behalf of Jan Stránský [honzik.stran...@gmail.com] Sent: February-16-16 9:50 AM To: yade-dev Subject: Re: [Yade-dev] Spam on the mailing list Hi Jerome, imagine you are a new Yade user, testing it and deciding if you will use it or not, and want to ask just some basic question, and for it you have to register somewhere, waiting (possibly a few days) for approval and only after that you can ask.. It would annoy me :-) every while there is a question from people I have never heard before and I think it would be pitty to make it hard just because of one spammer.. If you mark a question as a spam, it is not displayed in any list by default. If you get yade-users emails, containing all the questions, a few spams is no problem from my point of view, as large amount of questions is completely out of my interest, ability to answer, knowledge of code, knowledge of physics etc etc.. Of course, we should have the possibility to ban a user if that account send spams (like "thomas" recently) cheers Jan 2016-02-16 17:36 GMT+01:00 Jerome Duriez <jerome.dur...@ucalgary.ca<mailto:jerome.dur...@ucalgary.ca>>: Hi, What kind of issues do you have in mind if we restrict to yade-users members the possibility of asking questions ?

Moving to github is not a good idea in my opinion for the same reason Anton gave, at least if we can manage this in an other way. Unfortunately I dont have a constructive idea how to handle it. greets Alex Von: Yade-dev [mailto:yade-dev-bounces+alexander.eulitz<mailto:yade-dev-bounces%2Balexander.eulitz>=iwf.tu-berlin...@lists.launchpad.net<mailto:iwf.tu-berlin...@lists.launchpad.net>] Im Auftrag von Bruno Chareyre Gesendet: Samstag, 13. Februar 2016 20:41 Cc: yade-dev Betreff: Re: [Yade-dev] Spam on the mailing list I don't know how launchpad handles spammers, can we ban some accounts on the mailing lists we are managing? I don't think restricting posting rights of everyone but team members is the right way to solve the problem. It has to remain open access IMO.

For both groups we have several administrators, including me, Bruno, Jan and I have added you also as admin. If there are also some more proposals, let`s implement them. If Launchpad will be too painful, we can move most of stuff to GitHub. I would like to escape it, because we have thousands of messages on LP, but if it will work too bad... Let`s see.
