What else can we do then point out each time we see a technical discussion
starting? My idea is to kill this list, as it already is lost and make a
new one: opensuse-community.

Anybody other (better) ideas?

I don't think changing the list could do any good, people will write anyway (or steal the others openSUSE lists).

solutions: (?)

1) On this respect, a news group is much more adequate.

on a news group, it's easy for a moderator to cancel early offending messages before it go to most user, it's also easy to anybody to correct an error

on a mailing list, any OT thread can go on any long time. on a news group, it's easy to kill it.

I'm ready to be part of any moderator group.

2) May be also if the long awaited forum went up, it could receive most of this unwanted traffic. I don't know if it's easy to moderate such a forum (I own one but has never to cancel anything)

Please, don't start a new flame on the news/forum subject. I want only to mention them to see if this could a solution to the very problem mentionned here.

3) anyway, there are not so many oddening posts, may be we can live with them :-)

4) we could make the subscription to the mailing list moderated. A mail from the moderator to the new member about the non technical subject could have an effect and it could be possible to ban any offending people.
