AFAIK we still don't. I don't know where such a procedure is written out, and I don't remember my opinion being asked or considered on the matter. I certainly don't remember consenting to immediate permanent bans as a response to use of culture-specific taboos (rather than actual insults or racist discourse). As it is, the current "process" is vague and privately decided. That's not an acceptable standard on a mature project. > It took us a while to agree on the procedure.

He had been a problem for months or years. It was obvious something had to be done. But apparently the "key people" were reluctant to take a decision, even though there was frequent outrage at Anatoly's contributions. Now we're facing the inverse problem: the "key people" feel like they have to take overhanded decisions extremely quickly, as if it was going to make the atmosphere more peaceful (which, by construction, it won't). > Participation on these mailing lists is a > privilege, not a right.
