Hi Griffin. Iirc Moritz mentioned that we might soon be ready to roll out tor-users@ (with moderators) as a replacement for tor-talk@. I'm more curious about a replacement than trying to clean up tor-talk@ - imho it's a lost cause.
That said, don't let me stand in the way if you want to take this on.
I can appreciate that approach, but changing lists alone doesn't solve the core problem. People who want to be distracting will just sign up for the new list and be distracting there. But people who were interested in being on tor-talk for the on-topic discussions may not sign up for a new list.
My personal opinion is that we could save a lot of work by sending a reminder about on-topic discussions, kicking off a few people if they don't listen, then moderating posts for a couple of weeks if it's still not abating.
