Botnet's is a very specific subject and Nanog hasn't got
the time or
resources to fill it. If we say yes to all Botnet subject
and
discussion the Nanog list would serve no other purpose and
non Botnet
discussion wouldn't get a look in. There should be a Botnet
dedicated
list to deal with Botnet issues.

As for Fergie no, he was also told to get off the list for
posting
news articles.

There is no excuse for posting news articles, we all have
access to
the same resources off list as he has in respect of news web
sites and
RSS feeds, so it really serves no purpose to turn Nanog into
a wash of
web links to news articles.

Can we just have people posting information to Nanog that
cannot be
obtained elsewhere, which justifies a reason for posting.

Can I make a suggestion about inappropriate postings which I
GUARANTEE
would help a lot?!

Can we have a DESIGNATED WHINER, or small list of whiners,
who has a
CANNED MESSAGE and the option to add some text specific to
the
message? And can take further suggestions of this sort so
people can
release that "this message was inappropriate"
steam?

Then every time someone posts something inappropriate we
don't have to
wade through 20 or 30 individual "That was
inappropriate" messages
often resulting in further discussion like oh no that's not
the right
list it should have been on THIS list ooops I got that
address wrong
here's the correction oh this one is probably good to use
also for
that topic can we stop posting URLS can we stop feeding the
troll are
we sure that's inappropriate yes it is I agree I agree too
well maybe
sometimes it's not inappropriate what if it involves...oh I
think
that's also inappropriate well I don't it belongs
on...wouldn't this
be a better mailing list for that topic oh yes you're right
oops I
typo'd that URL here's a correction ok this one also who
died and made
you king I dunno who died and made you king don't feed the
troll i
just want to say there's too much inappropriate traffic on
this list
yeah me too too much inappropriate traffic yeah me too I'm
considering
dropping the list because of the traffic yeah me too why
can't that
topic go onto this mailing list that's a good list but this
might be
better oops I typo'd the address here's a correction can
we get back
on topic is that operational i just thought of something
funny to
interject in this inappropriate thread how about this on
youtube oops
the url got cut off here's the corrected url can you
tinyurl that can
we please get back to some operational topic don't feed the
troll blah
blah BLAH blah blah BLAH blah blah...

It's harsh of me to say, but something I've found in
around 25 years
of these groups is that there's a certain type of person,
and it's a
fairly common person, who never has anything to contribute
(which is
fine) but one inappropriate message and it's like taunting
mean cops,
watch out, they're all over it and suddenly get chatty.
Scolding the
vast unknown seems to be their specialty. And their imagined
target is
just about the least likely to read their fantasy scolding.

Too many cops. Way more "that was inappropriate"
messages than
inappropriate messages.

There, now *I* did it.

No, I don't volunteer, but maybe one of the cops can.
