It's not obvious to me, but I take the time to be careful about replying to the right place. I make use of decent mail tools configured properly to aid me in this, because to do otherwise is a serious breach of netiquette. In short: if the mail was delivered from the list, it will have the correct List-* headers, and a decent, properly-configured MUA will do the right thing.

This is more or less the opposite problem to the one we are discussing, namely, people who *cannot* post to the list, who are not doing so. Moderation isn't going to make any difference to this case. -- Please do not CC me for listmail. 👱🏻 Jonathan Dowland ✎ jmtd@debian.org 🔗 https://jmtd.net

If the list become moderated or at least controlled in some way then it would prevent outsider (people not registered on the mailing list) from send mail onto the list. Now even if you ban someone, it just need that they create another address and send a message for it to appear on the list. Rendering banning pretty much useless for preventing people from writing stupidity. And that is mostly the reason for banning people, based on what they write (preventing people from getting the mailing list send to them is irrelevant as they'll be able to look on the web). > -- Polyna-Maude R.-Summerside -Be smart, Be wise, Support opensource development

Except, we do control the list, by banning people. Banned people cannot send mail to the list. >Now even if you ban someone, it just need that they create another >address and send a message for it to appear on the list. Yes that is true. But it is not what is happening. What is happening (well, what happened once... I don't know if it's more common) is that someone who cannot post to the list, got their content onto the list, by an innocent bystander (you) accidentally quoting their off-list, private mail, onto the list. Moderating the list would not prevent that, because you would presumably be subscribed and able to post. (If by "moderating" you mean "only list subscribers can post to the list"). >Rendering banning pretty much useless for preventing people from writing >stupidity. Despite the fact that yes, people can circumvent address-based bans, the current approach is working remarkably effectively, IMHO. We *do* moderate some Debian lists. I am a volunteer moderator for one of them (although, I haven't participated in moderation for months.) -- Please do not CC me for listmail. 👱🏻 Jonathan Dowland ✎ jmtd@debian.org 🔗 https://jmtd.net

Hi Andrew, Greg wrote a useful mail in another thread (<YQrPCU15uhwjKfFn@wooledge.org>) and Dan replied to suggest that some of his points might be worth folding into your monthly mail-out.

Just that it really becomes as clear as possible, maybe add or merge
right here with the same indent as the last above cited paragraph more
advise with words which are similarly mentioned elsewhere but also would
be of benefit to the mailing list(s):
* Be respectful and polite. If you write in an unpleasant manner,
people won't feel motivated to work with you. Don't feel attacked by
criticizing words, seriously consider the possibility that you haven't
been attacked and instead got suggested a correction. Also consider that
disagreement might not have to be discussed and might not help to solve
the technical issue treated in the thread. If you feel attacked then be
the better person and ignore it - instead of feeding conflict. Convince
people with results, rather than words.
Always stay in good spirits!
Marco
