Mined, no. The problem here is the definition of 'valuable'. I did elaborated a bit more on this when addressing the consortium about this: "I've checked some random samples and found that no reasonable[...] discussion on the LA lists in the last 2 years required more than 5 posts per user per day." Now that's still somewhat subjective. The current settings are rather conservative. With these, only four persons would have received warnings (two of them repeatedly) in the last two years, and only one would have been temporarily banned (also more than once). Anyway we intentionally chose a short ban time (6h). The idea is not to snub or censor. Just to let things calm down a bit. None of the persons who'd have triggered the warning are high-profile developers or major contributors to linux audio software architecture or ecosystem. ciao, robin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
