I think its safe to say it's the appropriate place for any discussion on Trisquel and/or free software. They're extremely difficult to separate when the goal of the distribution is freedom.

On the subject of forum software, I've heard good things about Discourse: http://www.discourse.org/ For the record, I prefer the user-driven moderation we have now, mainly because it doesn't create extra work and responsibility for volunteers, but also because it doesn't create the

I just finished reading a few articles about some truly disgusting stuff about Reddit ( http://newrisingmedia.com/all/2013/5/22/reddit-racism-an-open-secret.html). I see the voting system here is similar. While (to my knowledge) having none of these consequences here, I think it's important

When I first started reading this thread I thought I'd created some sort of international incident and couldn't recall what I'd said that got so many people angry with me. It didn't help when someone said something about me and posted a screenshot of Magic Banana giving me a good yelling at!

Ah- so that was the problem- I posted a reply to chaosesque's message (which was still in my inbox) after it had already been deleted on the actual site. I concur- a 'deleted by moderator' notification would be helpful, especially for those of us who post via mailing list.

I think it's funny too, but it takes the messages out of context. It may reflect poorly on the user's reputation for comments like the example I gave, to the uninitiated reader.

I'm the only one that thinks that that thing is funny? I mean, Chris being very polite in his comment and Magic Banana being a little bit rude at him for something he hasn't said? And yes, this situation happened to me as well: moxalt replied me when he was replying to chaosesqueteam.

If I put a non trisquel question or link in trisquel users, it is because I have no expectation my post will be read if posted in the troll hole. Make a subject named non trisquel, free software and hardware related posts. If it shows that it will not be active, users again will start

Hi! To clarify things a bit more, the issue was not spam-related, and it was not exactly a matter of someone posting an inappropriate opinion, but more like a deeply rude repeated behaviour, including but not limited to personal threats and direct insults spread through several threads. I

Dear all, there seems to be a broad consensual line of argument that nobody wants to censor posts but everybody wants to get rid of rude behaviour and off-topic discussions. Moving all these contributions to The Troll Hole and to replace them (automatically?) with a hint to the community

I think I should note that moderation can be done right if its deployed carefully and the moderators are in regular contact with community leaders such as David. This forum is often a mess and is unhelpful to new users. The fact that it took the really outlandish behavior recently to

It would seem that the quality of this forum has been suffering from some way too personal agenda for some time, with some very evident examples in the last hours. While we decide what to do about it, I've taken some measures to clean things up a bit. We will study the situation carefully

You should use the rating system rather than delete posts. We shouldn't rely on privileged users to delete posts they consider unappropriated.

After deleting a certain user's posts it now looks like Magic Banana is giving a curt reply to Chris that has nothing to do with Chris' post. (Image below.) I'm sure there's many other examples. This may be a consequence of the forum software used, but it would be nice to have the
