I'm one of the moderators of this mailing list. I'm also one of those thin-skinned "hypersensible" people who don't want to see rudeness and insults on the list. However I don't want to have to judge whether one person is being too rude to bear and another not quite, or to weigh one person's helpful posts against their flamewar posts.
So here are the rules I'm going to try. This is the SpamAssassin users mailing list. Discussions related to SpamAssassin are fine. Rudely insulting someone, even if they are as frustrating stupid as you claim is off topic. Telling someone how rude they are is off topic. Explaining how someone's apparent rudeness was just an innocent mistake caused by a culture difference in how they write their name is off topic. Complaining that someone should do something about the off topic messages or we should all stay on topic is off topic. Please only post messages here that are on topic. Please only include only on topic content in your on topic messages, no extra remarks, insults or otherwise. The only tool I really have available is to place people under moderation so that mail they send to the list is held up until it is either approved or dropped. If I use that tool on someone there will be a time delay in their on-topic mail showing up on the list because I don't hover over the moderation queue 24/7. Please keep this list on topic and make this work. Any comments about this, send to users-ow...@spamassassin.apache.org not to the list itself, as any such comments would be off topic for this list. Thanks, Sidney users-ow...@spamassassin.apache.org
