He obviously orphaned it, no question. I don't know if anyone else mentioned that, but when I did I wasn't trying to use it against you. I was just suggesting it as a reason not to accept the orphan request. Looking at the comments on sdl2-hg, the last comment by the maintainer and the last update of the package is 2017-04-24. Then there's a comment by someone else, and a comment by you on 2018-11-01, a couple days ago, the same date the package was flagged out of date (presumably by you). I suppose you contacted the maintainer by email? That's fine, but you should have mentioned it in the orphan request. Otherwise the person reviewing the request had no way of knowing that. Basically, the problem in this case, regardless of any previous history on the forum, is that you didn't provide any explanation of why the package should be orphaned in the orphan request. Nor does looking at the comment thread make it clear the why the package should be orphaned. The TU closing the request could arguably have given more of a reason, but essentially they gave as much of a reason to close the request as you included in the request for why the package should be orphaned. signature.asc Description: signature
[aur-general] Unfortunate Perceived Attitudes.
Good morning, Afternon, Evening (as appropriate :/) all, I have been a Linux user for about 25 years. I was introduced to it when it had to be downloaded from a Bulletin Board via (cough) a 1200 baud modem. (For those who don't know, Its like writing the code into the computer while listening to it being dictated over the phone) I have over the years attempted to participate in the Linux Community - but have always been put off by various attitudes of some Guru's I was kicked/banned from the #linux IRC channel for "Lurking" when simply I was trying to catch up with the current conversation. I was always of the opinion that it was rude to interrupt. I never again tried to ask for help, or even consider contributing until now. I am acutely aware that programming is a High Math/Sciences calling and that those who are high Math/Sciences tend to have a few flaws in their communication skills. I my self have been in trouble for this on many occasions. I have only recently joined this list as I am considering contributing. I asked one question and it seemed to turn into a divisive argument to some people. I have since observed that this does not seem to be an isolated occurrence. I would like to point out that since these threads are in the public domain, that all words used need to be thought and read through twice. Every thing written here will be read by newbies and other possible future Guru's. What they read may just push them away instead of attracting them to the Linux cause. If I have written anything that Offends I would like to apologize in advance. It is not my intention to start some great debate - but simply to try and make people think twice before replying to any thread, especially when upset. Thanks Macca
Re: [aur-general] Account Suspended, No Reason Given
I'm not debating against those incidents, but pointing out that they should NOT be glamorized, and portray me as bad. They shouldn't foreshadow and undermine all the good I have done. What I'm saying here is that all my contribution heavily outweighs all these incidents, and some incidents being wrongly assumed because of my past as being a "help vampire". Towards the end, I did most definitely go to the wiki, google, and look at man pages and didn't find clear answers. Although because of my past, they were automatically viewed and labeled as "help vampiric" because of my ealier postings when I first started using Arch. A clear example, in this discussion, someone accusing me of not contacting the "sdl2-hg" package maintainer, and trying to use that against me, when I for certain did over half a year ago, AND flagged the lib32-sdl2-hg package in the same time frame. He obviously orphaned it, no question. If you really want to try and belittle me for these incidents, instead of remember me for the good I have done, what does that say about you? I essentially paved the way for the "libudev0-shim" package, which was created by a Gentoo user who I was speaking with in that GitHub issue, that is now part of the Arch OFFICIAL repository. But you're going to sit here and and bring forth all these "bad" things I've done, and down right say things like I'm "persona non grata"? Whatever dude.

Re: [aur-general] Account Suspended, No Reason Given
Again, it seems some are glamorizing "bad" things I have done in the past, for all the good I have done, and will continue to do. Like mentioned, claiming I didn't try to contact the package maintainer of "sdl2-hg", when I most definitely did, over half a year ago. I most recently began to take action, because I have aquired a laptop a couple days ago, and can finally upload all the PKGBUILDs I've been using for alot of the packages that are out of date or missing completely. I was banned for "help vampire". I won't argue some of the incidents, because for the beginning, I was new to Arch. This is over 5 years ago. But towards the end, I did google and look at man pages for alot of things, and still got labled as being a "help vampire", because of my past. New accounts I made were for more help, or simply being found out it was me. If you let my "help vampiring" foreshadow all of the work I have contributed to Arch, and ignore all of the good I have done, which for sure outweighs my "help vampiring", then so be it.

Honestly, I don't care that you filed a bug for Steam and there's many people here who don't either. The argument that "because I do certain work, this gives me the right to put down other people since I think their work is less valuable" is just going to alienate you further. This would be like me telling you that because I contributed code straight to pacman itself makes me more valuable to the community than your silly little bug report. M

Luckily, since your bug report to ValveSoftware was more descriptive than "Yo there's an error my dude", people were able to deduce what you meant.

I'm not a TU, but looking at the aur-requests archieves, "Yo I got this my dude." doesn't really explain why the package should be orphaned. You should probally mention that there's an issue with the package, and you have a better PKGBUILD. Based on the policies of the AUR, you are supposed to try to contact the package maintainer first. Given you commented and flagged the package out of date just a couple days ago, you should probably wait a while before filing an orphan request. signature.asc Description: signature

The TUs are volunteers (probably have other important things to do as well) and I wouldn't expect them to put any time into requests like the ones listed and just deny them. You only getting a week suspension "without warning" is quite reasonable. Mark
Re: [aur-general] Account Suspended, No Reason Given
This still doesn't cover up the fact you gave NO WARNING before the suspension. Also, if you so desire 'high quality', and strive for this "political correctness", don't be a hypocrite and comment back the very way you don't want to be talked to. That doesn't give the impression of what you want achieved does it? This was all in fun and humor, not disrespect, and could have easily been diagnosed and resolved if you talked to me about this before making such a drastic decision.

I’m sorry you mistaken my humor for disrespect, it wasn’t meant to be taken that way.

You're greatly misrepresenting this case. If anyone is being disrespectful here, that'd be you - considering all of your 'high quality' requests, and the fact that you've been posting passive-aggressive comments on some of the packages in question - namely 'sdl2-hg' and 'lib32-tslib', thinking the maintainer rejected your request out of spite or something. The last request out of the bunch, PRQ#13138, was in response to my closure of your requests. > "come back with a better request, my dude" > > So I did, I requested to maintain the package again, and was denied, Turns out, however, that 'YO I GOT THIS FOR REEEAL' is not a good, or even appropriate, request either. > then my account got suspended.

[aur-general] Account Suspended, No Reason Given
I recently tried to be the maintainer for an package that hasn't been updated in quite some time. I've been using my own PKGBUILD for the particular package with great success, and currently am maintaining the "lib32-sdl2-hg" 32 bit version of this package. Upon request of this package, It was denied for no reason given, except a disrespectful message from coderob and I quote. "come back with a better request, my dude" So I did, I requested to maintain the package again, and was denied, then my account got suspended. Whats the deal here? I wasn't warned about anything I may have done wrong, and I'm currently maintaining two packages, and co-maintaining another one, which I no longer can access. Please unsuspend my account so I can maintain my packages. Vincent Grande
