I really have to agree with you. The proctors have completely lost |
| 12 |
their way. They are ineffective. They tend to compound the problems |
| 13 |
they were created to stop. They are slow. They have not prevented |
| 14 |
anything, which was the reason for their creation. Rather, what they |
| 15 |
*have* done is stifle conversation, piss off people, get in the way of |
| 16 |
Developer Relations reports, and otherwise making developers feel like |
| 17 |
they don't want to participate in our official discussion channels. |

What do I think needs to be done? |

The proctors project needs to go away. It simply wasn't implemented in |
| 22 |
the way the Council had hoped and has proven to be more harmful than the |
| 23 |
original problems to morale and inter-developer trust. While the |
| 24 |
individual members might be doing what they think is best and trying |
| 25 |
their best, they've failed at the goals of improving our communications |
| 26 |
channels. |
