Some months ago we had some big flame wars, around systemd. The list admin had to implement filters, that causes *some* mails to be delayed for moderation, which can take several days.
He didn't have to. He just did. Many here live in fear of wearing out their delete keys, so demand a nanny (aka moderator) relieve them of that risk.
So what we do is that when we get a hit on those filters, and we do not want to wait that long, we repost changing the offending word.
So you're confirming me you change the title to dodge filters? How is this a good thing?
It's a choice of lesser evil. Moderation breaks conversing. A question is asked or answered, but when it gets trapped in moderation queue, sometimes for days, thread participants get left hanging whether aware of magic words or not. Something akin to bitrot typically sets in. The original poster may well have found a solution and not mentioned it, or given up on getting any response, by the time the moderator clears it from the queue. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Ok, so my impression is: 1) There is a problem with moderation and/or censorship here; 2) Users are disenfranchised and take the law in their own hands. Uhmm... it's not a good sign, is it? -- Ottavio -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
