By closing individual mailman mailing lists and replacing it with a single forum, everything is under control of a single authority. There even isn't the need to moderate or ban users with unwanted opinions, since the users are educated by levels, badges and presents. IOW all users are under general suspicion to express unwanted opinions, hence everybody is moderated by a credit system. This Chinese alike approach has nothing to do with the "libre" in FLOSS.
There are valid reasons to moderate or ban a user, but usually such a user is barred by an individual part of a project, not by the whole universe and before it happens a user must have expressed something that is unwanted. A credit system to stop individual opinions in the first place stops all individual opinions completely. At the worst a "misbehaving" user gets not only banned from one or the other part of the project, but from the whole universe of the superior project. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
