Hi!This is in response to what Robin Candau wrote in response to Ralf Mardorf's example on searching news on Hitler (24th October, The Northstar browser thread). And I sincerely hope that my letter here will not prove to be the last drop that will throw the ML "into moderation mode".I do realise that most lists have to be moderated now and again, but as for the Hitler example in question, I really struggle to see the inappropriate part here.Leaving aside the fact that a discussion on the crimes of Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini or Putin, for example, would most likely seem very odd on a mailing list such as this, I'd like to hope that the mere mentioning of a name is not enough to cause trouble.I read Ralf's letter multiple times and didn't find one word of politics there. What is more, I fail to see any indication that the letter was meant to convey some sort of inappropriate meaning.In short, it seems to me that 'everything in moderation' goes for moderating too :)Regards, KaurPS I wouldn't have written this letter if I hadn't had similar thoughts before.
You hope your letter to not be the last drop that will throw the mailing list into moderation mode, yet you put everything in it that were specifically asked to be stopped in case you didn't want it to happen [1] (namely re-engaging on an off-topic subject regarding this mailing list and uncalled for controversial / provocative references [2]).
With that, I announce that the AUR-General mailing list is now under moderation mode for the time being. Only messages that gets reviewed and explicitly approved by the moderation team will get through.
Thank you for your understanding.[1] https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/JJZOKOMIOZY6ZKDCSGEPR3QXHS7TH3VP/ [2] https://terms.archlinux.org/docs/code-of-conduct/#controversycontroversial-topics
