Re: OMG!Ubuntu a bane or a boon? [was]Re: The new default wallpaper

 

I actually didn't want to write for not pouring oil into this fire, but i
figured it would be of interest that the rising issue of offensive behavior
and inappropriate commenting on OMG! is an issue the Authors are well aware
of and are looking into deeply with the release of the new Interface on the
WordPress Platform. I cannot speak on behalf of the whole team but i know
there will be several more people keeping their eyes open to that the new
CoC will be kept intact and there will hopefully be less traction between
Public Opinion and a supposedly-to-be-used-for-better-things Mailing List
like this.

Like our friendly-neighborhood Superhero would say: "With great power, comes
great responsibility"

On the other hand, whenever it comes to things like f.e. the bug report on
the Wallpaper it's pretty much out of the Hands of the Authors cause
virtually anybody can report a bug. People are just people, all they want is
a clear statement, f.e. the reaction on the design.canonical Blog could've
simply read "Yeah, it's just a WIP, calm down" OR "Yep, it's official, we
like it, you can change it though". See? Less confusion and more straight
talking makes Homer a happy person.
