Ditto.
If IBC were just a mailing list and/or web forum, I doubt I'd bother
subscribing to it, nor reading the forum/archives more than once every few
months. I don't care much for lists & forums, I prefer newsgroups.
Just ignore the trolls. They crave attention; if they don't get it here,
they'll get bored and go away.
If people want to take firmer action, here are two more options:
4) Change the mail gateway so that posts from RAB are sent to an IBC
moderator, who must approve them before they're echoed to the mailing list.
5) Make RAB a moderated newsgroup. It would take a lot of time & effort to
make this change, as the RFD/CFV process takes a minimum of 2 months, but
it could be well worth it.
