For decades, I've wished for a list setting: Set bozo <person> on
...which would allow the subject person to post and see posts reflected back, but not inflict them on anyone else. Talking into a bottomless well would get boring. Ed Jaffe<edja...@phoenixsoftware.com> On 8/30/2023 7:12 AM, Kirk Wolf wrote:
Dear ibm-mainers, It is with regrets that after many years I will no longer be actively following IBM-MAIN. The list has become intolerable because of trolling, off-topic thread hijacking, and personal attacks. The signal-to-noise ratio is approaching "1". My assessment is that without some form of community governance and real moderation, IBM-MAIN will soon be completely useless except for the archives.
This is not the first time this forum has been hijacked. Everyone knows who the troublemaker(s) is(are). What I do is set up email filters to send those posts directly to my Trash folder. I never see them. Doing so is a lot easier than pressing the <Delete> key over and over... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
