Hi All,

Today both of the python.org mailing lists I'm subscribed to (numpy and scipy-dev) got the same kind of link shortener spam. I assume all the mailing lists started getting these, and that these won't go away for a while.

Given that we've had a literal order of magnitude more messages about the spam than the spam itself, maybe it's just a blip?

I will suggest that spam management is probably not a strong, much less a decisive, argument for migrating to a new discussion forum.

My thought too. I found the "spam" from the link and recalled that I had simply deleted it as irrelevant. Took about 5 seconds, one time. I don't think changing things is worth the churn unless we get buried in spam. I also like lists that are medium busy. I used to follow linux kernel development back around 2000, but eventually it became too busy to follow.
