I hate cross posting to put this but....
If the "problem" is noise on the list, maybe another approach would be
to institute and enforce subject classification that would make the list
more "filter" friendly.
There are already some conventions (ANN etc).
ANN : announcement
NEWBIE : I am new
PRO: fear me, or watch this
OFFICIAL: apple
BOOHOO: i could run apple better bitches
etc
etc.
Or....
Maybe a news group would be more appropriate?

the signal to noise ratio here on cocoa-dev and macosx-dev has gotten
quite bad lately, and many "good" questions are being ignored or
simply smothered by a bunch of "how do I save a document?" type

have voiced their concerns to me.
While I feel that cocoa-dev is a great place for newbies, and I
applaud Apple for keeping the list open, I want to create a
lower-traffic "pro" list as well, so perhaps good questions are not
lost in the noise. I'm well aware that rarely have "-newbie" and
"-pro" lists worked together in the past (too many newbies join the
pro list, etc.), but I think it's worth a shot. Newbies will be warned
and banned for asking silly questions. The burden of this "evildoing"
will fall on Erik and Cocoa Dev Central.

That's a really bad idea. I don't like the idea of an elitist club such
as this.
