This, at the same time ubuntu themselves [1] are being attacked on identi.ca, I made the assumption (perhaps unfair, perhaps rash) that this could be a similar attack on Fedora. Certainly an account *just* added to planet behaving in this way seems way more suspicious than say a planet contributor who's at least been around for a few weeks and has actually made at least one post about *fedora*, who happens to make a random post (hopefully with enough lines of content to dwarf the hugeass logo) about ubuntu or any other distro. After seeing that social media attack on ubuntu I am thinking, wow, *anybody* could sign up for a FAS account, sign up to get a blog syndicated to planet, and just troll away. And we don't even have a single guideline to prevent them from doing so. So I apologize if I was rash in asking if it was a problem, and I apologize for jumping to a lot of conclusions. But please let's drop the Ubuntu psychosis talk because it really isn't relevant. ~m [1] http://identi.ca/markshuttlecock , http://identi.ca/jonabacon , http://identi.ca/sjobs _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
