This *is* the correct forum:
 - it's a mailing list,
 - it's called "members-*discuss*",
 - its description says "This is a list for RIPE NCC members to discuss 
membership-related issues."
 - the addresses subscribed to this list should belong to LIR contacts who can 
be reasonably expected to be interested in membership-related issues.
 - there is a SEPARATE ncc-announce list that, as the name suggests, is 
intended for announcements and critical updates.

Additionally, members are capable of managing their own subscription to this 
list and ncc-announce separately.

I can see how someone could be upset about the quality of some of these 
particular messages, but that's an entirely different issue.

One would think that people who are capable of running an ISP or any other 
highly technical internet-related business should be capable of, among other 
things:
 - using mailing lists,
 - setting up email filters,
 - configuring their email notifications based on the filters,
 - managing their subscriptions,
 - looking up easy to find information on all of the above.

In fact, one would think that those people would be familliar with proper 
usage of a mailing list thanks to being a subscriber to a number of those, 
related to technologies they use to run their business or whatever.

This, however, turns out not to be the case. The mind boggles.
