I seem to have missed the issue. Any specific issue in question?

Hi All,
There is the long standing policy on HPR about moderation
<https://hackerpublicradio.org/stuff_you_need_to_know.php#not_moderated>
saying "/We do not vet, edit, moderate or in any way censor any of the
audio you submit//, we trust you to do that/". We were asked a few
times at FOSDEM as to how we can get away without moderating. I
pointed out the most important bit of that policy: namely the "/we
trust you to do that"/ part, and that the community understand this
responsibility.
If we imagine for a moment HPR been a great theater where each show
has their own hall. In your hall you will not be moderated but we
trust you not to say or do anything that will get us into trouble. If
you are dealing with some topics of a delicate nature, you make sure
that you take every reasonable step to ensure that people do not
accidentally stumble on this. We do not want anyone to be in a
situation where they are exposed to an unsavory experience.
We go on to say "Please note that this only relates to the audio you
upload. The rest of the meta-data (branding/summaries/tags/show
notes/etc.), are managed by the HPR Community, and *may* be edited."
To use our theater analogy from before, outside the hall the janitors
ensure that the entire theater is kept welcoming to all.
One of our contributors is having a difficult time with this
responsibility, not only within their shows, but also in their show
notes, in the comments, and now on the mailing list. I can understand
that this may be difficult for them, but a lot of leniency has been
given over the years. At a particular point you have to accept that
even more help is required in showing what is the best way to interact
with a community.
Therefore I wish to propose that until trust can be reestablished, all
submissions by Mechatroniac (aka anarch0re) to the mail list will be
approved by the Janitors. We will take up contact with him in cases
where the content may cause offense. We have had some success with
this approach with him before. This will not apply to anyone else.
All our actions will of course be overseen by the HPR Auditors who are
volunteer community members outside the Janitor/Admin team.
