So, this will likely be my only post in this thread. I cannot speak to the kernel list, but I am (one of) the moderators for the devel list. You are not "banned" there, you are simply moderated and most/all of your posts are not sent on to the list. This has nothing to do with nvidia drivers or the like, but instead is due to the following: * You constantly cross post to large numbers of lists, resulting in anyone replying to you needing to go subscribe to all those lists or try and follow discussion in many places via archives. * Additionally, You constantly post directly to people about things that are much better suited to bug reports and mailing lists. (In addition to large numbers of lists). This doesn't scale. Linus cannot reply to every direct email about the Linux kernel, etc. * You often post long outputs of commands, but then don't say what the problem or issue is, you just hope someone will figure it out. For example, this thread IMHO would have been fine for a bugzilla.redhat.com bug report against linux-firmware or kernel with something like: "Hey, since ivtv package was retired I am unable to find 2 firmware files I need for my device. Can you take a look and see what happened to them? They are X and Y and here's my dmesg output" kevin
