If we all remember, the lists were going to be moved to the forums for
archiving, readability and for easy moderation. This wasn't done
because we all prefer the mailing list. However, we should find a
balance with more moderation. You don't even have to run a server to be
on this list.

That's not a bad idea. In the last six months this went from a high
quality, low traffic list to something similar in appearance to a
tier-2 steam customer service support thread. While I definitely do
appreciate this under-the-radar outreach to the community of server
administrators, perhaps it is time to think about expanding to a
moderated style mailing list.
Thanks again for all your (Valve employees!) hard work and prompt
replies to questions posed in this thread.

Maybe it's time to appoint a volunteer moderator so there is less
garbage on the list and more helpful information. It would help all of
us! :)

This post is a reminder to everybody that this email distribution
list has a standard language that everybody should use. I'm not
talking about using Portuguese or English. I'm talking about being
nice instead of being a jerk.
New people come and go all the time. Sometimes they repeat
questions that have already been answered before they subscribed.
Sometimes they don't know what is on topic or off topic. There's a way
to let them know politely if their question is off topic, or should be
directed elsewhere. If is too difficult for you to use kind words,
then of course there's also the option of just ignoring it.
Your posts (like most things on the Internet) are both public and
permanent. By bearing this in mind, some people could save themselves
embarrassment and regret by refraining from posting childishly. Even
better would be to act kindly and help the person get to the correct
place where they can find the answer they are seeking.
Please just be kind and helpful.
Try to relax.
Your humble servant,
- Fletch
