Subject: [OM] [OT] Oben, junk mail to the list
> Hello Listees,
>
> Well, I tried to filter Oben from my email after he started with
off-colour jokes. Now he re-appears with another email address. I
> could filter that too, but I see that members are getting quite upset with
Oben again, and I would like to weigh in with my 1.52
> cents ($CDN 0.02).
>
> Oben began his latest round with an off-colour joke right after his
comments regarding off-topic posts were rejected by some
> members, and he founded his alternative list. That's when I suspected that
he was posting off-topic messages out of spite; i.e, "you
> want off-topic, I'll give you off-topic." IMHO, his subsequent postings
confirm that suspicion.
>
> I would suggest that doing nothing else but for ALL list members to filter
Oben's postings, or to treat them as spam (the
> "delete-key" method often espoused by senior list members) will
effectively discourage Oben given a little time. Response only
> inflames and encourages.
>
> If Oben is removed from the subscribers list, he will still be able to
post, and his messages will still appear on the list, just
> like other spam (or am I wrong, are Olympus list spammers also list
members?). If Oben begins to disguise his email address, as he
> is starting to do, he will truly be joining the email spammers club.
>
> I would prefer that the list reject messages from non-subscribers, and
that when grave offence occurs, (i.e. personal insult,
> offensive content as measured by member reaction,) that someone be given
the authority to delete the offender from the subscribers
> list. This would help with spam, and with offensive posters, and possibly
save some members stomach linings, and others the pleasure
> of observing their discomfort.
>
> So, that's my one-and-half cents worth. What do ya'll say?
