Re: [gentoo-dev] How others handle bad behaviour on mailinglists

This is an overview on how other (well know) (community driven) projects handle flaming and similar things. Gentoo has an etiquette policy as well at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=3chap=2 for interested people. One thing worth noting is that we've just decided that the policy needs to be updated so hopefully we'll see a new/expanded policy in a few weeks.

Regards, Bryan Østergaard I'm not a dev, just a lowly user, but maybe this policy needs to be posted here since according to some of what I have read lately, this has not been read before by several. Maybe when you first subscribe, it should be included in the subscribe confirmation email. Some of the recent threads have caused me to wonder if there was a policy or not. I have been using Gentoo for a good while and I love the distro, but some of the things I read on this list, especially lately, are embarrassing to say the list. I hope something can be done to make this list pleasant for everyone to subscribe to, read and even participate. Now I expect someone will disagree and I will hear from it shortly.

Dale :-) :-) :-) :-) I agree .. lets have more of the dev talk on the -dev-list and less of the rest and forget what happend. To start this I'm opening with a -dev question : Why is mod_perl not in the default /etc/apache2/httpd.conf ? Can the line be added even commented out ? - Thibaut -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

As I said, I love the distro, I REALLY do. I have been through a lot in my life, becoming disabled, being a foreman on a capitol murder trial, and right now, even a divorce from someone I hope wanted to do better. After all that, watching this list is worse. It seems that people can't disagree and be respectful about it. Heck, me and my soon to be ex can do better than this. Since it appears that people can't regulate themselves, then there may need to be some people to do it for them. I just hope this list can over time get back to be as good as the distro. I subscribe so that I can keep up with changes. I don't usually post very much here and I suspect there are a lot of other people doing the same. If this does not improve, it could put a bad name on Gentoo. After all, the community is very important to us all. I hope this will help make some changes that will improve the situation for everyone. Dale :-) :-) :-) -- www.myspace.com/-remove-me-dalek1967
