I hate moderation...� And to a certain extent I think people letting off steam and being boisterous is actually healthy for a community.� Maybe we can have a noisebridge-meta or noisbridge-policy list which would be for discussion things like politics?�� I'm not sure would a good policy for noisebridge discuss would be, but maybe we could ask people to not excessively bicker or post pointlessly to the main discuss list.� As much as I disagree with some people on the list I really beleive in freedom of expression more :)<br>

Since people seem not to be able to moderate themselves, can we please moderate this list, or at least some individuals on it?� I'd complain about the signal-to-noise ratio, but it's mostly still signal.� Unfortunately, most of that signal is a handful of individuals exclaiming, boisterously and in diverse ways, "LOOK HOW SOCIALLY MALADJUSTED I AM WOOO!" I'd really rather not receive that, but I would like to be aware of what's going on at the space.� (Which, lately, seems to be mostly just a handful of individuals exclaiming, boisterously and in divers...)<br>
<br>I'd really like to be able to use -discuss again, and I would really, really like it if our public face to ~400 people wasn't mostly made up of reactionary and inflammatory posts like we so often see from Crutcher, Jason Dusek, and Al Billings.<br>
<br>(Apologies to David Fine: This post isn't [drama], but I did add it to the body here, since I have no doubt it's going to result.� Sorry to complicate your system, but this needed to be confronted, and nobody else seems willing to do it in public.)<br>
