William, if you do not have anything to add to the topic at hand, |
| 17 |
please do not reply. Gentoo does not only consist of areas you care |
| 18 |
about, and dismissing anything unrelated to them is not helping anyone. |
| 19 |
|

Furthermore, I should point out that the teams performing disciplinary |
| 21 |
actions can have strong influence on influx of developers. IRC, Forums |
| 22 |
are frequently the areas where the first contact between users |
| 23 |
and Gentoo community occurs, and with an unhealthy moderation team it |
| 24 |
could be the last. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I'm talking both of the case when moderators abuse their power and ban |
| 27 |
users unnecessarily, and of the case when they do not keep the channels |
| 28 |
healthy and troublemakers discourage of users. In the end, the only |
| 29 |
people that really come to Gentoo are the bullies and the people who |
| 30 |
can withstand being bullied. |
