I do not understand why "Neal, Stasiek, Knurpht, and yourself" are not simply referring any ML complaints to the moderators and the openSUSE board. Neal says he has "dealt with many complaints about the mailing lists, and people being afraid to contribute because of how people respond on the lists.". Why was this not brought to the list moderators or the openSUSE board ?
This was brought up to the Board a several times.
Years ago, the installation of some packages sent emails to root [...] This is not done any more. Why? :-? Because you didn't reply to them, the installation process then decided
Well, depends on the definitions of "This". In the ~3 years I was in the board, we didn't get any complaints because someone was asked not to top-post, to shorten quotes or similar things. We also didn't get complaints about people who top-post, full-quote etc. I only remember complaints about _serious_ issues on a mailinglist, for example calling someone names. For completeness: The board also discussed about the atmosphere on a specific mailinglist, but that was brought up by a board member, not from outside the board. Regards, Christian Boltz -- that it was a waste of time sending you e-mails and so......stopped sending them to you. [> Carlos E. R. and Basil Chupin in opensuse-factory]
