And the end result is that the community spends time "mediating" with a jerk instead of actually caring about the decent people who report issues or try to contribute.

Re: [python-committers] Anatoly has been warned about his behaviour potentially leading to his loss of tracker privileges
These steps sound right to me. Make the notification a private email, not a public one -- this doesn't have to be a big deal. It's not a warning shot to other people, this is one isolated individual, and we should treat it as such.

I agree with Alex that the initial email has to be private. There's no need here for a public humiliation that will harm both Anatoly and Python. One thing that's not clear from the above is the duration of the ban. Guido was mentioning some minimal cool-off period before Anatoly can discuss his reinstatement with Guido.

Guido was mentioning some minimal cool-off period before Anatoly can discuss his reinstatement with Guido. I'm thinking at least 12 months, and then Guido and Ezio can decide whether or not to propose that the suspension be lifted.

I cc'ed Guido and Ezio (since I included their offer to mediate tracker access) and also bcc'ed the list admins for the three currently affected lists (so they know why his posts start appearing in the moderation queue). I don't appear to have the necessary tracker access to actually move his account to read-only status, though (this change should be made on the meta-tracker as well).

You should have the necessary privileges on the tracker now, since I think you ought to. (I don't have them on the meta-tracker, so Martin will need to handle that one.) On the other hand, I'm not actually sure what kind of access is left when you remove all the roles from a user. I did notice the other day that email to the tracker still seems to work for new issues (I think it was a new issue, I don't remember the sequence of events for sure), so we may in fact still need to create a new role for this situation. --David ___ python-committers mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers
