Not sure what part of that thread this is referring to; because you have accepted a lot of possible topics by asking to "pose a question with context to the current council election", which scope reaches out to almost anything Gentoo Developer related in Gentoo Linux. That open, people will simply discuss what bothers them and want to see how possibly new Gentoo Council members will deal with that. For all sub threads; I do not see nonsense, derailing or off-topic crap. If you instead intended this to be solely Q&A then I think the mailing lists might not be the right place to do this; sadly it's true, but sometimes you need the tool you're using to restrict the possible input. > Neither the mailing list mods, nor userrel seem to think some > intervention is necessary. Tried DevRel? Whom invites people to contact them? Nearly all responses in that thread are from Gentoo Developers, so I don't think UserRel has anything to do here. I don't see any rules that apply to the ML voided myself; so, not sure which intervention you are looking for. As for the ML mods, filtering Council related material makes them biased so I think they will want to avoid that unless absolutely necessary. > I was not aware of a gentoo policy that trolls are allowed on our > mailing lists. Trolls are defined in the Gentoo CoC, DevRel deals with them. > I apologize for my ignorance. No, you need to ignore much more; the average mail client allows you to ignore sub threads, put that feature to good use and don't be bothered. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : TomWij@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
