Here it is; comments welcomed. Gerv Hi, My name's Gerv; I'm the moderator of the mozilla.governance forum. We are currently getting a lot of email from understandably angry people about what happened with regard to Brendan Eich. I am attempting to moderate the discussion in a way which allows everyone to have a voice, while keeping things at least vaguely civil. There are not many moderation rules; they are: * No posts making comparisons to Nazis, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot etc. Google for "Godwin's Law". * No comparisons of particular behaviour with paedophilia. * No posts whose sole content is effectively "me, too". See http://input.mozilla.org/ . Inside those guidelines, everyone gets one top-level post to give their opinion, and anyone who engages constructively with others is welcome to contribute and make replies. If you are getting this email, it's because your post didn't meet one or more of the above guidelines. We have no wish to censor anyone, and we think the above give ample scope for expression (including expressions of anger and frustration). We hope you will consider resubmitting a modified form of your post and then listening to those who reply to it. With thanks for your appreciation of the difficulties I am facing here, Gervase Markham (Author of http://blog.gerv.net/2014/04/your-ire-is-misdirected/ ) _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
