Inappropriate tone on this mailing list and requirement for governance

[Nickolai Toupikov]

I've been following the list for a couple of months already. and indeed 
the trolling is on the increase. must be some spring hormones playing or 
something...
I even had to get a blacklist to avoid having to skim through dim-witted 
(IMHO) comments.

It should really be dealt with before it gets out of control and kills 
the list.

Just wanted to share an idea :

how about creating something like a report at listst.ubuntu.com address 
where users could submit posts deemed inappropriate.
After n submissions the user would get an automated warning. After n+k 
he would be submitted to moderators for appropriate measures to be taken.
This should save a decent amount of resources for the moderators IMHO.
