HOW DO I UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS SHIT!
Try to be polite and THINK before act (or pay attention to know you ARE
SUBSCRIBING to something)....
Lol! This is happening again!
Each time with the same vocabulary ... Are these people graduates of the same grammar school or what?
Hi 
This is an extremely high-traffic list and that is not made clear to people when they sign-up so it can cause panic.
A proper official forum such as most modern projects use (Firefox, Fedora, Ubuntu, Mint and so on and on) would neatly avoid all sorts of recurring problems. But of course we have to stick with some ancient system that makes the project look like something pre-Win95. Even Arch has forums ffs.

Please help me, how do I unsubscribe?
This is flooding my inbox!

You should try the same advice...
I knew I was subscribing ... all I wanted to know was how to get Java and this to work ... I asked nicely the first 6 times ... I'm getting a little tired and cranky from over 50 eMails about book bindings ... formatting a picture ...etc
Now all I want to do is quit getting these eMails
Libre won't be getting any recommendations from me...
respectfully,
Randy
That's sad
One experience decides it all? Not a fair basis for conclusions my friend. Mailing lists are like this. U probably needed to signup for a digest instead of regular deliveries. U get only few mails and you'll still be hearing from libreoffice users.
You may also need to join forums and IRC chat channels if you're desperate but leaving a mailing list with that tone for reason of email traffic isn't fair. Did anyone abuse you here?
Hi
The instructions are at the bottom of each of the emails
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/
People don't see it because they are over-whelmed and panic.
Randy has an excellent point about these lists being a major blocker. Forums (fora?) would be a much more professional approach.

It would have been nice to actually tell the person how to
unsubscribe instead of all of the unnecessary commits. This is the SIXTH
email reply that did not contain an answer! Some help these six replies
were. Shame on the six of you. I'm disappointed in all of you. Yes, be
polite; none really were. Yes, Think before acting: note were doing this
either. And yes, I am peeved with what I saw.
If a person asks a question, answer it politely.

Wrong!
His question has been answered despite the tone of the request
Hi
Sorry, good point! Here is a copy of the page ...

How to Unsubscribe
We have
sometimes received complaints from people who have signed-up to our
mailing lists (our user support list, for instance, to ask for help
with something) and then no longer want to receive messages. Sometimes
it's because they've found the solution to their particular problem,
and sometimes it's because some of our lists have quite a heavy traffic
of posts.
This page describes how you can unsubscribe yourself. Please read it thoroughly, as it will most likely help you get your problem solved. If you still have problems after reading this help, a human contact's e-mail address is linked at the bottom of the document.
If you don't want to receive messages from our mailing lists anymore, please follow the steps below to unsubscribe.
We recommend you not to simply flag messages
from our mailing lists as spam just because you don't want to see them
in your inbox anymore. Instead, the best solution is to properly
unsubscribe from the list(s) concerned. That way, you will really put a
permanent end to the unwanted mail.
Check what kind of subscription you originally opted for
When you subscribe to our mailing lists, there are two ways of receiving posts from the list. In the standard mode, you receive every post to the list individually as soon as it is sent to the list. In digest mode,
you receive a single message containing multiple posts, either once per
day (if the list traffic is low) or after a certain number of posts
have been sent to the mailling list (if the list traffic is high).
If you receive messages with individual subjects, of which the subject lines are prefixed with a tag such as "[libreoffice-users]" (which is the list's identifier tag), then it means that you are subscribed in standard mode.If you receive a message containing a collection of posts, with a subject line starting with words such as "Digest of users@global.libreoffice.org"
(indicating that the message contains a digest of messages from our
user support list, in this particular example), then it means that
you're subscribed in digest mode.Check which e-mail address you subcribed to the list
People sometimes report that they are having problems unsubscribing
from a list. Sometimes, the reason is simply that they are not sending
the unsubscription request from the same e-mail address that they
originally used to sign-up. If you have multiple e-mail addresses and
are no longer sure what address you used when you subscribed, please
look at the headers of a message from the list (look for a button or
link such as "Details" or "Raw Message" or "Original Message" in your
e-mail program or webmail page). Your e-mail address will be listed in
the "Delivered-To" entry or the "Return-Path" entry, such as
illustrated below:
Delivered-To: john.doe@example.com
[...]
Return-Path: <users-bounces-1234-john.doe=example.com@global.libreoffice.org>
Notice that in the "Return-Path", your address is embedded in another address, and the "@" is replaced by "=".
After completing the above two steps, you will now know both the
subscription type and the subscribed e-mail address, and you can
proceed to actually unsubscribe, which is a two-step process:
First you send the unsubscription request.Then you confirm that the request was genuinely made by yourself, and was not an abusive request sent by someone else.This is similar to the subscription process, and is referred to as "double opt-in/out" or "confirmed opt-in/out"). The process is very similar to the one you had to use to subscribe to the list in first place.
Send the unsubscription request
If you want to unsubscribe from the users@global.libreoffice.org mailing list (our user support list), for example, send an e-mail message to users+unsubscribe@global.libreoffice.org (if you were subscribed in standard mode) or to users+unsubscribe-digest@global.libreoffice.org (if you were subscribed in digest mode).
The message does not have to contain anything in the subject line or
in the body of the message. If your e-mail program or webmail service
warns you that you are about to send an empty message, you can ignore
the warning and go ahead with sending the message.
However, it does not matter if you do enter text in the message
subject line or body. Our mailing list software will ignore any
contents and no-one will read the message. Only the destination e-mail
address is used to recognize your intention to unsubscribe.
To repeat what we said above, please do make sure you send this
message from the same e-mail address as was used to subscribe to the
mailing list, otherwise the unsubscription action will not work.
The process is the same for all our lists, and you need to perform this step for every list you want to unsubscribe from.
Confirm the request
Shortly after sending the unsubscription request (typically just a
few seconds later - check for new mail, and look in your spam folder if
there doesn't seem to be any), you'll receive a message asking for
confirmation of the unsubscription request. The message will resemble
the example below.
Unsubscribing is as easy as it was to subscribe. If you do not know,
what to do, please, please, please, do read the instructions, that
you find at the bottom of every mail you get from this mailing list:
For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to:
users+help@global.libreoffice.org

Hm? The very first reply already gave the answer.
So please friends, calm down.

Alternatively, you can configure your email service to filter out a particular subject line ... Or bits of it, and channel the rest to trash.
That should give you some isolation from libreoffice mails other than the thread you started (long shot) ... But I guess that depends on what your email service providers allow.
Hi Randy,
You should try the same advice...
I knew I was subscribing ... all I wanted to know was how to get Java and this to work ... I asked nicely the first 6 times ... I'm getting a little tired and cranky from over 50 eMails about book bindings ... formatting a picture ...etc

I wanted to unsubscribe you manually, but did not find your address on file anymore, so I guess you managed already.
In case you still have problems, please *directly* write to
postmaster@documentfoundation.org
If you simply reply to this mailing lists, chances are I will *not* see your mail in first place, so please *only* use the postmaster address.
Thanks, and sorry for any inconveniences,
Florian

100% sure. Mailing lists are perfect for collaboration in teams. They are totally inadequate for end user support.
I use Evolution as a news reader and subscribed to
gmane.comp.documentfoundation.libreoffice.user.
Long before forums there was usenet to replace mailings lists. And still
works fine.
