Agreed. Though "off-topic" could be replaced by "non-technical". |

I'd prefer short-term banning to moderating. Once an individual is |
| 35 |
moderated, who is expected to review their mails? Who is reviewing the |
| 36 |
reviews? Is devrel really prepared, in resources and spirit, to |
| 37 |
evaluate every email sent by a moderated individual? |
| 38 |
|

If you feel you are, then you have my support. |
