If you find yourself receiving too many posts from EuroPython, it is quite simple to filter and automatically archive/delete/mute emails containing the word "EuroPython".
Perhaps the problem is not with EuroPython posting too many things, but rather why aren't other members share more "community-type" announcements here? If people always have to worry that they'll be criticized as "spamming" it will deter people from actually posting useful information. I personally think info about a conference is relevant to the community, so it is fine to post them here. Another thing that would be great is if the PSF community page ( https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/psf-community) can be updated to include more elaborate guidelines and examples of what posts are acceptable or not. ᐧ On Thu, Jun 27, 2019 at 10:17 AM James Bennett <ja...@b-list.org> wrote: > > >> On Jun 27, 2019, at 12:35 AM, M.-A.
