In my perception we can't judge what well established, long living #suse and a group of people around do. What they will tolerate and how they will handle situations is up to them. It is for me the same as complaint here about any forum that has "suse" in the name and doesn't represent openSUSE community, like #opensuse IRC channel.
I completely disagree, sorry. mastering any kind of internet medium is tedious. Some channels (not only IRC's) happen to hold rude people (do you remember how Houghi left opensuse?) that can ban or make somebody leave without real reason, may be only because they where on a bad mood this very day. We all know right here some unvaluable openSUSE members that sometimes can become extremely childish and harsh (I may be one of them :-(). the community as a hole must have some places to discuss this. once banned in any manner, there is no more chance to any people to ask, and this is a reason to have an other channel, preferably on an other medium, to ask. this in no way is an advice on this precise case, only a general rule of thumb. as an example, I remember a news channel (not opensuse, but Linux) where I never could post, any post I sent was rejected for a reason or an other when many other posts where really similar :-) we must specially take account of _newbies_. Many newbies infringe forum rules by lack of knowledge (I find top posting specially tedious :-), teach them is sometimes pretty boring, but somebody have to do it :-)) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/mediawiki/index.php/GPS_Lowrance_GO --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
