Behavioral change is exactly what is needed. The simplest way to achieve that is education and buy-in. A good start would be to document the desired behavior, in an isolated php-dev subscription page, in the form of a _brief_ terms of use, and have new subscribers acknowledge and agree to it. There could also be a cooling off period, where new subscribers are read-only for the first NN days - that'll let tempers and hair-triggers cool off. The core team is populated by some of the smartest people on the planet, I'm sure some other ideas can be bandied about and implemented to achieve the desired goal without resorting to moderation.We do have something along those lines: http://www.php.net/reST/php-src/README.MAILINGLIST_RULES Maybe it needs to be cut down (or just provide the key points at the top) and automatically appended to all emails (including the welcome email) .. regards, Lukas Kahwe Smith mls@pooteeweet.org
