Thanks for your vote [to make the list subscriber-only]
If it weren't for SpamAssassin running on my ISP's servers, and SpamSieve at my end, all you'd see would be a hand waving feebly out of a huge pile of spam. So I'm glad I _could_ vote!
I think it's our only choice. Over 65% increase in spam recently, and it's no longer an amateur activity: it's organized crime [2]. :(
I agree, the only benefit users have is that they can freely post messages here and imo if they want to report a bug in translation or offer some help, then the registration will not be a problem for them.
Nearly all the project lists I'm subbed to are subscriber-only. I think it's what most people expect nowadays. As far as new users or people not expecting sub-only are concerned, we can keep an eye on the moderation queue for a month or so, and see how many genuine emails we get. I would be willing to help with that.
Okay, I've gone ahead and set the list to post by member only. That's a good point that more and more lists are going this way, so it's not going to be much surprise for people.
It sounds like a good plan to keep an eye on the moderation queue for a month or so, and thanks for volunteering. That will help make the transition less abrupt for people. I've added you and cornelius as moderators for this list.
After a month, or whenever you two feel the time is right, let me know and we can switch the list to reject non-member posts.
Thank you Bryce a lot.
Sincerely Josef "cornelius" Vybíral
