How do we fix this? - moderation? - a code of conduct? - ? I've found some of the behavior of a few on this list to be quite embarrassing. To me, it seems an alien island in the middle of the Fedora community that I know to be a genuinely warm, friendly, and welcoming place. Do we want new users to witness this kind of behavior? They are directed towards this list right now via a number of different pointers. My team is planning to redesign the Fedora website for Fedora 14, and I'm not sure we can in good conscience continue to point new users to this list [1]. Does anyone have any ideas on how to improve this situation? We've had a small few but notable trolls in the past 6 years on the Fedora art/design lists, and the one solution that seemed to work best was placing badly-behaving folks on moderation for a few weeks. I don't know if that would be the appropriate solution here, though. For example, do we have anyone willing to take on the responsibility of moderating? ~m [1] http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-help -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
