Why? Where the hell are all these off-topic posts everyone seems to talk about? Seriously: I don't remember an unacceptable amount of off-topic posts on this list. Of course there are some of them, but some of them will _always_ be there. This is implied by being "open". I remember maybe 10 off-topic posts with technical questions this month and a *huge* load of meta-discussions about them. Most traffic on this lists doesn't come from off-topic posts, it comes from discussions about the discussions. Why do we need to keep this list 100% "clean"? It will never be. If there's a technical question and the answer is a one-liner, why not just answer it in one line instead of having endless meta-discussions, plans about what to change, how to send people away, how to close the doors etc.? > And of course it will be necessary as openSUSE grows. Why? Do we really want to make openSUSE closedSUSE again? Why is it needed? What do other open projects do with off-topic posts? Do they really close the doors? Just ignoring them if they are "too off-topic" or just answering them if it doesn't hurt too much might be an option. IMHO there is no problem with too many off-topic posts => Nothing needs to be changed. A classical WORKSFORME, in Bugzilla terms.
