Splitting out the advocacy / hairsplitting / holy-war / I'm-more-right-than-you-are type debates to a separate list ought to be a "Project Self Preservation" action. Bit like the -sounder list in Ubuntu (like someone else mentioned) where I even think you're warned that topics will be inflammatory. fedora-list, do correct me if I am off base, intention was for users to be able to turn to with queries or requests for help, or just to get advise on how to go about doing things with Fedora. Not to get sunk in a veritable swamp of irrelevant, rehashed religious style diatrabe. If users first interaction with Fedora is fedora-list, "the August 2008 archives", I'll understand if they punt the Fedora ISO's into the trash and hop off elsewhere. No, really. > That or the fedora board could actually tell them to shut up and kick them off > if they don't Something equivalent to the Code Of Conduct that Canonical implemented. It worked on the ubuntu lists. No reason it would not work here. /Anders -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
