[members-discuss] Feedback on Mailing List/Board Election Issues

Hi all,

>- Should the same approach be used next time (moderation + unmoderated 
>archive for transparency)?

My personal opinion is "No" to this question.
But the main reason for it is that i don't like everyone on this list was 
castrated the same, but the problem mainly was coming from one unqiue person. 
Directly after the moderation the number of messages was reduced and because 
it took some hours to accept messages also the response to a message again 
takes hours, so the whole communication was slowed down directly.
I personally think that the way this members-discuss is setup is very 
oldschool. E-mail distributionlists are not the way we should communicate in 
todays times. There are existing better technologies available.

So my suggestion would be:

- Replace the system by a more apropriate one (for example a board that allows 
threaded communication and easy quotation)
- if there is someone missusing the system only this participant should be 
moderated/demoderated, but not the entire group.
- There should be a Thumbs up/down system to automatically detect issues with 
a specific post that does not follow the rules without the need to set 
everything to moderation
- Allow posting and viewing the posts via Web-Interface
- Allow setup notification settings by every user seperate (receive an email 
for every communication, or only a summary per day, or none)
- "short answering" via email should still be supported
- Make access restricted via RIPE SSO System
