You're missing the basic point. If someone makes a complaint with a complaints process that handles everything in the open, i.e. with your suggestion of the standard RFC process: * if the outcome is most people think they were over-reacting to something, then they are going to get a load of crap from people in the community. * if the outcome is a majority of people think it is a legititmate complaint, then they are still going to get a load of crap from i) the minority of people who think that any restriction of freedom of speech is a commie plot ii) the revenge brigade who go round and harass people i.e. any process that airs all complaint in the open is going to be shit for anyone who makes a complaint regardless of whether it was justified or not. Which just leads to people not making complaints and instead just not being part of the community. cheers Dan -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
