What would be the purpose of this list at that point? It sounds to me
like you want to make this list invite only, but just doing it by giving
it a new name...
I agree that the usefulness of this list varies wildly from post to
post, but this list is much more useful than the BF1942 list, since all
the GSP's are on the RANKED list...
If you are really sick of the repetative questions, then I think the
ServerWiki is a great idea, and possibly on the signup page for this
list, instead of just having the archives, also link to the HLDS/SRCDS
ServerWiki pages... That assumes that we all contribute to it and get
those questions answered in there...

Simple answer, get registered then ;)
There are plenty of other communities that only allow registered
companies,
I don't see it as any form of discrimination myself ;)

Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] GSP only list
I'd rather just see users who repeatedly ask questions (after a reminder
that the list is hlds_Linux, not linuxhelp) removed from this list.
It does get irritating seeing constant posts about fedora's plethora of
flaws but isn't that much of a problem. Being on yet another mailing
list is a bit pointless, though I'd sign up to it if such a thing exists
and try it, though I think it's unlikely that many people will jump ship
because I personally would worry about missing a thread on this list
that might be of interest.
What about people running GSP's like myself that aren't companies? I
still run 15 public servers but I wouldn't be able to join the said list.
Or people could just ignore the posts asking non hlds related questions
and avoid feeding the problem :-)
Just my thoughts.

You should remember the times, where pre-steam-versions were "the

IMO the list is too quiete.

I'm sure it has been discussed on numerous occasions before, I've even
heard from some sources that it may be happening, but I would like to
raise the topic again.
Please valve, can you create a GSP only mailing list, its becoming more
and more a case where the Linux list is becoming a technical support
mailing list for people who cant be bothered to RTFM and do their own
research on how to (for example) install FC4 onto their server as
they are
'new to Linux
Don't get me wrong, this isn't a flame, I'm almost 100% sure that
the more
technical issues would get solved a lot faster in a GSP only list, I
also
think a lot more people would contribute to the list if it wasn't
full of
useless flame threads such as 'I'm getting lag since the update,
what has
valve done now' or 'Mani-mod isn't working, ffs valve' and the alike
that
the average Joe Bloggs posts on here at times.
Obviously the most important thing would be to vet people signing up to
the GSP mailing list to make sure they are who they say they are
(maybe a
companies house check up on the company registration number they would
possibly need to supply?) it would unfortunately mean a little
verification work at first but I think the benefits from a new list
would
be great!
What opinions do other regular, proper, list users have?
