Thing is, mailman can already filter based on subject. We could just mark
all OT: threads as needing-moderation and it would NOT hurt the normal
discussions at all -- normal threads are delivered in a timely fashion.
Sorry if I did not make that clear.
At this point, it could be a matter of monitoring the list, and if, in
normal usage, a person could simply label their reply as OT-Poltical when
the topic is becoming OT-Political, and at that point, all replies would be
stuck in the moderation queue.
The reason that this is the best option, imo, is that it gives the best of
both worlds (moderated v. unmoderated) I think that #2 is a viable option
only if it is technologically feasible. I'm not sure how/if mailman supports
inter-list communications and how it could route them (the user will default
to mailing
plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us by default, based on their
mailing client) I see no way to do it if mailman doesn't support it. The
problem is that, by default, users will no move their discussion to this
list without being asked, and even then, the question of whether it happens
is largely up in the air.
From #plugaz RIGHT NOW:
[22:55:06] <jth> enough's enough. I'm going to unsubscribe for a while
[22:59:05] <jth> it's too much right now .. I like to read the topics to see
if anyone needs help
