[Storage-research-list] Time to change this list

[Garth Gibson]

The list does have managers at Carnegie Mellon University.  Over the last decade, this list has not been badly abused, although the traffic doubled 2011 to 2012 and again 2012 to 2013.

I agree that mass mailings like the example below shows that someone thinks that this list should be used for almost any call for papers, and that if this trend continues we will have too many inappropriate postings.

Perhaps some of you 1) would like stronger moderation of the postings, and 2) would volunteer to share the moderation duties?  Post your willingness to moderate and we’ll try to maintain a sufficiently large pool of moderators.

Note also that you can unsubscribe (if you remember the email address you used to subscribe) by visiting https://sos.ece.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/storage-research-list

All,

Given the increase in conference spam, as exemplified by the last message (below) I think that it’s time to change the email address for Storage-research-list at ece.cmu.edu<mailto:Storage-research-list at ece.cmu.edu>.

Is the manager of this list still available? Easiest would be to simply rename the list. But failing that, we can move it elsewhere.

Regards,

Simson
