Hello. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
As a userrel member and given the recent abuses in Gentoo communication |
| 7 |
channels (in particular the mailing lists), I want to recall everyone |
| 8 |
that participation in the Gentoo Community is a privilege and not a |
| 9 |
right. Also, no amount of contribution to the community nor the fact |
| 10 |
that one may be factually accurate serves as an excuse to behave |
| 11 |
inappropriately and or for abrasive behaviour. |
| 12 |
Whenever you use our communication channels make an effort and be on |
| 13 |
your best behaviour. Please try to be concise, clear and debate ideas, |
| 14 |
not people - other members of the community will appreciate that. Don't |
| 15 |
forget that the Gentoo Council has approved a Code of Conduct[1] that |
| 16 |
applies to all communication mediums. |
| 17 |
There have been a few recent requests, or more appropriately some recent |
| 18 |
moaning, in the mailing lists about the behaviour of certain members of |
| 19 |
the community. Some people are requesting that certain members of the |
| 20 |
community are silenced and or prevented from "derailing discussions". |
| 21 |
The correct procedure in case of such abuse is to contact the User |
| 22 |
Relations or Developer Relations teams and not to abuse the mailing |
| 23 |
lists about this. |
| 24 |
As some members of the community keep having an abusive and abrasive |
| 25 |
behaviour and given that we're all getting tired of it, I urge you to |
| 26 |
consider your participation in the community carefully as any abuse will |
| 27 |
be dealt with *swiftly*. Furthermore, given the cross-attacks that keep |
| 28 |
showing up and the demands for action from the community, the User |
| 29 |
Relations team in particular and Gentoo as a whole, might not have any |
| 30 |
other choice than to push for policy changes and harsher solutions that |
| 31 |
are likely not to please people. |
