All this is another story, however, really. I have no intention to ask
again that unsubscribed users are not allowed to post, as I have to
admit OOo lists are a bit unique from this point of view.
Well, no. They are not. A huge number of free software projects have
adopted such policies. For one, you can check the Debian project lists.
Moderator(s): may I ask you to *reject* from now on all messages
without a decent subject, explaining with a standard template to the
unsubscribed posters that they are much, much more likely to get help
quick if they bother to spend ten more seconds in that way? You are
making a disservice to these people letting things as they are.
Subscribed users here know why they are here and can rely on their
mail filters to decide what they want to read.
Actually, I consider it a service to the community to add flags such as:
[users] [moderated]
[users] [moderated] YOU MUST GIVE A SUMMARY HERE
because they can allow users to opt for automatic deletion of mails
containing them.
(who feels that a list like this IS essential to the
success of OOo and FOSS, but also feels again a
strong, pressing urge to tell everybody willing to
spend time on volunteer FOSS support to do it anywhere
else but here)
I agree on your characterization of the lists but not on the status of
volunteers. Volunteers do what they want/can and they are free to
answer, or not, any mail coming to the list.
