<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">If this mailing list was a river then everybody would agree that we<br>
cannot let anyone flow anything he wishes into it, no questions asked.<br>
But in the case of a communication channel like this list there is a<br>
tendency to think that because the technical bandwidth of it is so<br>
much bigger than we use now - then there is no need to limit the usage<br>
in any way. But the mailing list is useful only as much as people read<br>
the mails that are sent to it - and the amount of time people can<br>
spend on reading is limited.<br>
<br>
Without any rules this mailing list is wasted by trolls and flamewars<br>
just like a river would be wasted by pollution if we had no rules<br>
about that.<br>
<br>
In this community there is an aversion to moderating of mailig lists<br>
because of the fear of censorship - but even having an automatic rule<br>
like 'one person can post only once a day to this mailing list' would<br>
improve dramatically the situation on this mailing list. Would that be<br>
censorship? And this is just one example - if we are serious about<br>
'doing politics', about designing rules that govern our societies -<br>
then we should first design rules to govern our mailing list - rules<br>
that would avoid the censorship accusations and that would maintain a<br>
high signal to noise ratio.<br>
