I notice you both have email addresses from hosts I'm not familiar with, perhaps they don't group posts into threads, so you get hit with about ten times as many messages as I do. That would be frustrating. I still don't personally support moderation, but if most of the list does, then we should see what options we have.
From: Andrea Dallera on 14 Apr 2010 12:35 While the thunk phase's been pretty annoying it looks like now it's over. I suggest to wait a month or so and see if things get better: if not, then I'm all into taking actions against spam and OT.

Just last week I was having problems managing my subscription via the list controller. When I tried the "manual way" (http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/community/mailing-lists/manual-instructions /) I couldn't get the bot to respond either. As a last resort I emailed the human administrator address (ruby-talk-admin(a)ruby-lang.org) and got a response from Matz himself. Perhaps that's the problem. The list is being maintained by a person who most assuredly doesn't have time for it because he has much more important things to do!

Between spam filters and community policing, I think this list is > fine. Remember to distinguish between "power" and "authority". Right now, someone, somewhere, has the power to kick people off the list. The list runs somewhere; someone has the keys to that computer, and can modify anything on it. Realistically, you can either have some kind of moderation, or offer a free spam reflector service complete with malware delivery. I'd recommend the former. -s -- Copyright 2010, all wrongs reversed.
