I guess that makes the bottom line rather clear, at least form my perspective. You HOPE that those that have the occasional laps of reason or those that exhibit tendencies of the issues described above will not subscribe to the new mailing list.
Good luck with that.

I agree. The problem will just flood into the new mailing list if everybody moved over to that. The problem with the "me too's", off-topic posts, rants, etc., isn't precipitated by the name of the mailing list. It's the users that are subscribed to the list. So the protuberant issue here is regarding moderation; the new mailing list would be moderated differently because it technically would have new rules and/or more heavily enforced ones than those found here, whereas adding new rules or enforcing old ones to this age-old list could/would upset users. Not a bad tactic, but read between the lines. The goal seems to be to shut down this list completely at some point, but so far I haven't seen one email sent on the new opensuse-support list and I don't think this whole idea is going to pan out. If there are no subscribers there, the reasoning behind subscribing to the new list is fairly weak, and the community thus far seems to not be keen on the idea, then I see no reason to subscribe to the new list. So to recap, the issue at hand is moderation and user behaviour. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
