Ineiev and the other Savannah Hackers, The resume feature is meant as a way for users to introduce themselves to the community. They can say a few words about themselves. Give others the sense of what their skills. It was not meant as a way for accounts to sneak in advertising to proprietary software or products. It wasn't meant as a way to endorse political campaigns that are unrelated to GNU's mission of Free Software.
We don't have the human resources to really police these postings after the fact. Instead we find out about them after they have become problems. Then we must take down problem cases. It's an endless wack-a-mole problem. And trying to make the feature moderated across so many users would be impossible. Thank you Ineiev for working diligently on this problem. However I do not think that the resume feature is particularly useful. Is it? Is there a case for the resume feature being a standout useful feature? I propose that we decommission the resume feature from the Savannah web UI. This would eliminate the problem. It would reduce our exposure to content later found inappropriate. It would reduce the resource drain, on Ineiev at the least, since he is the only one who has been trying to deal with the spam there. Thoughts? Bob
