Then I apologize for the speculation. Thought I still cannot find any announcement by the CC that the thread in question was blocked. > > Which mail?

Moderator powers give you access to privileged information and also imply certain duties. One which is that you do not use that information for private purposes, which is exactly what you did. As you apparently do not even see the distinction between your role as a moderator and a private person, this just reinforces my conviction that you should not have moderator powers. -- Anton Khirnov _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
