> permanent bans were given to multiple individuals, with no possibility for appeal
I don't disagree with the bans, but this part -- the "no possibility for appeal" seems very ... totalitarian. What if a mistake was made? (Again, not saying it was here, but in general, to err is human.) I'm comparing to various legal systems, in which there is almost always the possibility of appeal, even for heinous crimes. Another aspect is that sometimes people change and realize their mistake later, sometimes even because of an excommunication like this. What's the rationale for "no possibility of appeal"? -Ben On Wednesday, March 24, 2021 at 3:01:37 AM UTC+13 can...@google.com wrote: > Over the last few days, multiple reports were received at > con...@golang.org regarding public conduct on golang-nuts, as well as > conduct in private channels.
