Forgive the top post. I'm working off a mobile device that doesn't allow it any other way.
I don't think you understood Sachin's mail. It seemed to indicate that the majority don't care about the extremely infrequent use of expletives. And probably care less about the conduction of a poll to determine the course of action in the event of such an infrequent occurance. The whole execise seems a little juvenile. It doesn't mean that they don't care about the list. It just means that there are more important things than a one-in-ten-thousand occurance. Ofcourse all this would change if you put statistics about how many expletives have been used on this list during its lifetime. It may also help if you put up numbers that indicate what percentage of the list membership chose to vote in the first place. 36% could mean anything - even 3.6 people out of the 10 who chose to participate in the poll. Also, if you are so serious about that poll why do you choose to ignore the 41% that elected to boot the poster off the list? -gabin -- This too shall pass. -----Original Message----- From: Dinesh Shah (દિનેશ શાહ/दिनेश शाह) <[email protected]> Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2009 19:51:38 To: GNU/Linux Users Group, Mumbai, India<[email protected]> Subject: Re: [ILUG-BOM] use of expletives on the FOSS list On Sun, Mar 15, 2009 at 7:36 PM, Sachin Gopalakrishnan <[email protected]> wrote: >> 41% voted for barring the person from the list >> 36% voted for putting offending member on moderation >> 18% voted for giving award for "contribution" >> 5% voted for making offender admin/moderator. >> >> Considering the majority wants offender to be gaged, admins/mods will >> put profanity user on the list on moderation for one month followed by >> expulsion from the list on repeat offense(s). >> >> I suspect if you consider the members who did not participate and classify > them automatically under "I don't care", an overwhelming > majority would say we don't care!
