Hello list. You know there is plenty of trouble with mailing lists and Sourceforge, administrators have been taken their access to the member list (not white list, not black list, not moderation queue however) and now they also stopped MBOX export[1]:
We had to remove the ability to obtain subscribers individual e-mail addresses to comply with personal data privacy laws in several counteries around the world. Therefore, an MBOX archive is no longer available as the main administrative inferface has been reduced to only seeing how many subscribers a specific list has, and removing a subsriber at their request. We apologize for this change, but were forced to make it to comply with legislation in several different legal jurisdictions. This was not my issue but i jumped upon it because i wanted to export once more to get anything in between 2017-06-23 and yesterday (easily, that is). The answer now was the shown, and i responded I doubt this is true. Which countries? Which laws? This is my project. The people subscribed to hear about my software. If you want to reduce traffic and turn your users to happy but dumb robots which may not do anything but can be fired at with advertisements for which you get paid, then why don't you say it like that. You ruin Sourceforge. You would be nothing without those projects you are doing this at. It would have been fair to at least give a warning note to administrators in advance so that they can manage to shutdown their project at Sourceforge gracefully. I have no doubt that what you do is covered savely by american law, but my gut feeling is what i am talking about and that says "what you do is criminal". Thanks for your patience. This is not planned to be my last message on this list.
