Hi Rho`n,
In this situation, we have no information to make an informed decision.
Correct.
We have to trust the Janitors claim that there is a technical reason
to do so.
I reread the email thread and I cannot see anywhere that I suggested the
nature of the issue was technical or otherwise. I want to make it very
clear that I am deliberately not saying if it is a technical decision or
a content decision.
The vote is basically a confirmation that we trust the janitor's
judgement on what the technical reason is.
No it's allowing time for the host to get back to us.
If we are taking a hands off approach to all issues to avoid any taint
of censorship, then we should not postpone any shows unless the host
has agreed.
The whole point is that I cannot get in contact with the host. The last
communication from them said that they would host it somewhere else so
people can choose to listen if they like, and that they would mention it
on their next HPR show. My last communication to them was to ask if they
will be uploading a new version of the show.
If *we* take the decision to allow the show to be released to the main
feed, and the host did not want it posted, then *they* have to live with
the consequences of our decision. That is not fair.
Following the above argument, I don't consent to move the show.
Please don't take this as a lack of trust in the Janitors.
Incorrect. Do not trust them.
As my first response puts much trust in them. I can see Ken's worry of
just moving things without a notice, and I think moving it with a post
to the mailing list that it is being moved for technical reasons would
give: one, a chance for someone to object, and two, provide an audit
trail if an issue of censorship does come up.
I always cc the Admin mail list on these communications so there is an
audit trail. I would like more people to join the list but due to the
volume of mails people tend to unsubscribe after a time. "Anyone who has
shown a long term dedication to the project and is trusted by the
community, can become an admin".

Say every other post by Rho`n suddenly gets postponed ;) I feel at
this point a vote doesn't provide much more protection from a
censorship claim than just a post to the mailing list that it is going
to happen.
Would Rho`n not send an email to the mail list and ask why their shows
get postponed ? As I did when HPR started to podfade. Would word not
leak out that there was a question of censorship on HPR ? Surely it
would appear on twitter, mastodon, irc, matrix, not to mention other
Podcasts ? Like it did when Klaatu mentioned on GWO that I asked him to
replace a scary image on his avatar.
In this case you would hear from the host themselves that they tried to
post the show to HPR but decided to move it elsewhere.
Regards,
Ken.
