With that being said, I think the same technical issues come into play here as with banning someone from Gentoo entirely. I agree on this. I'd limit this ban to channels where they have caused problems though (or channels which they've been taking part of), banning them on each and every #gentoo-* channel is just an unnecessary overhead imho. And for the given technical restrictions they'd be banned as suggested, when they are coming back using another IP or another nick the same rules would apply as for every other user - warning and ban if they're misbehaving. I am not sure how we would be able to enforce this across the board for forcefully retired developers. It's not really possible without some huge work overhead to fully ban someone - therefore given limitations as described above would apply. Everything else is not doable from my pov. Tobias Although it isn't feasible in practice, such a policy would allow us to defenestrate forcefully retired developers that keep coming back to mailing lists or channels with the same attitude that got then kicked, without having to resort to long process and waste of our human resources. We wouldn't have to go through the same process over and over again: if somebody was retired and keeps doing the same things as when was a developer, then people in charge of channels or mailing lists might take instant action as they find it necessary. If they get a new attitude after retired, I'm sure that the people in charge will not take the extra work to ban them for nothing. My R$ 0.02. Pilla

Nope. What I see as a problem is that the primary author and current de facto maintainer is so much of an asshole that he was forcibly removed from the Gentoo project, which PMS is supposed to be written for, and has ostracized (at least) one of the package manager's development team with his constant not-so-subtle attacks. Quite frankly, I'd prefer see Gentoo take control over the specification that defines the most important single feature of Gentoo and remove the non-Gentoo developers from its development. No offense, but you're not a Gentoo developer any longer and you shouldn't have a say in how *we* manage ourselves. You're more than welcome to contribute code, fork, or whatever the hell you want.

There's a *BIG* difference between support and blind support. Nobody ever promised the proctors blind support. And the proctors never asked for blind support. If you didn´t like something the proctors did, you should have contacted them first before unauthorizing them in a public mailing list, asking why they did so. The way you did it, it was like you wanted the proctors to fail.

We are subject to the same rules as the other gentoo devs/staffs. Stop spreading your FUD around (I think I said that before). As for the forum staff in the proctors, I think that some of us could be found in the proctors because we cared and we tried to do something to improve our communication media (if we had any success on it, that's another discussion). But the number of forum staff in the proctors has recently decreased, as amne, jmbsvicetto, and myself decided to step down and leave the proctors.

Re: [gentoo-dev] Update from User Relations wrt User Representatives.
Hello, On Sunday 03 December 2006 20:32, Christel Dahlskjaer wrote: As of Friday 17th November, George Prowse, known to most as cokehabit, has left the Gentoo User Relations project and his position as User Representative. Regrettably, as things turned out, he did not fit the role as well as many had hoped, and it was decided that it would be in everyone's best interests to part ways. We would like to thank George for his time and work as a user representative, and wish him luck in his future endeavours. On a related note, it was resolved at a meeting between User Relations and the User Representatives on December 2nd, 2006 to instate Alex Bokag aka djay-il as the eleventh and last User Representative. This motion passed unanimously and Alex accepted the position with immediate effect. We welcome Alex onboard and look forward to working closely with him over the next year. On behalf of User Relations, Christel Dahlskjaer. As I've stated in the forums [1], I don't think that picking somebody that was not elected for the chair is a good practice. If you have found that the way elections were conducted did not produce a good result, maybe you should at least change your project description [2]: Gentoo User Representatives (userreps) form part of Gentoo User Relations (userrel) and are elected each year by Gentoo users to represent them to the development community. Not that I have something against djay-il, it's just that I don't like the way this whole situation is being handled.
