We, the members of the community, decide what kind of language we will
accept in our community. If growing the community, and getting more
people involved and thus having more shows, is a community goal, then it
is in the interest of the community to see to it that exclusionary
language is not part of our community.
If all are welcome, then all should feel welcome.

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.
