Обсуждение: List unsubscriptions
All, Based on some off-list discussion with Darren, I've gone ahead and removed everyone else we saw who had sent an 'unsubscribe' email to the list (an additional 7 individuals). If you are seeing this email and don't wish to be on this list, please feel free to contact me or to go through the process as described to unsubscribe yourself. Again, if you have any difficulties, please send an email directly to me. Thanks! Stephen

So I had identified 12 distinct individuals for Stephen that clearly said on-list that they wanted to get off of it, in list posts made in the last 2 days. It looks like 5 of those must have removed themselves in the meantime. Hopefully this bit of unpleasantness is behind us now and the list can go back to discussing what it exists to discuss, pgAdmin. Stephen, as a related feature request which you can pass on to the relevant people, I quote something Dave Page said yesterday: "Come to think of it, iirc, the old system used to moderate/block emails to the list that just said 'unsubscribe' or a few other keywords. I wonder if we're seeing the effects of that not being there any more." Having a feature like that in place will help cut down future spam. -- Darren Duncan

I'll chat with Magnus about that and we can look into it. The old system had a bunch of other things that forced moderation (which tended to get more in the way than it helped..), but perhaps we should add back the "unsubscribe" one. Thanks! Stephen
