Well, no, not really. This is now a question of how to do this in practice. There are several administrators, including me, and it is not really possible to "move" a discussion. You can only post a continuation link in the thread, e.g., by first forwarding the offending message to sage-flame and then linking to it from the originating thread. This did happen before and worked. Another option admins have is to lock a thread, but I don't know what happens to emails still sent to the thread and I don't think we should do this. Rather than locking a thread, admins could also remove and ban someone. This is the analog to what were those in the Gentoo forum (mentioned earlier) were discussing. I don't see a need for this either, because spammers are easy to spot and blocking someone only increases the problem. -- Harald -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
