...OK so obviously the wording is not clear enough "As Ubuntu community members we expect that you keep to the Ubuntu community code of conduct [2]" I think most people agree with this "Ubunutu-UK planet is not an acceptable platform for promoting commercial interests." was aimed at saying "no spam please" for example, if someone started using the planet as an advertising platform "Ubuntu-UK planet is not an acceptable place for discussions on community conflicts/issues." This is just a re-iteration of Ubuntu's code of conduct designed to stop flaming as we saw with Caroline (posts of accusation and counter accusation) "Please make sure that a majority of your posts to the planet have FOSS related content." This does not say only FOSS related content. The whole reason all of us are part of ubuntu-uk is that we share a common interest, and in my mind the planet is just a way of taking that further I'm a little disappointed that people feel threatened by this *proposal*, the only driving force behind is to respond to a problem that i've seen. Some reactions would have me seen as though I wanted to turn the planet into a suppressed militarised regime of censorship and general hardship for everyone.
