Bug Description

A user who appears to be in good standing began sending spam/inappropriate messages for this bug:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java6/+bug/300023

The bug has a large number of subscribers who became annoyed by the messages and responded with a 'reply all', which added new inappropriate comments to the bug and further inflamed subscribers.

It would be nice to have a mechanism LP admins could use to temporarily suspend delivery of bug mail. In many ways a bug is an ad hoc mailing list and can be abused to the annoyance of our users.

I agree it is a dupe -- wish I'd seen the other. It would be nice to see some solution implemented.
