This will allow an easy method of contacting all moderators at one time.

- If you find a post you think belongs in a different forum, let us know.
- Avoid multiple reports of spam:
- If a user's posts are all spam, report the user, not the posts.
- Review this thread after submitting a report. Please delete your report if someone beat you to the punch.
- Any other post that you think requires moderation (violations of Guidelines, broken BBcode, etc.).
- Moderators:
- Please delete posts after you've addressed them.
Thanks in advance.

Those dont look like .22s to me. They look centerfire, and about 9mm in diameter. Perportions are more like ad 22 short than 22 lr, but theyre too big.

User: asturm
Topic: why does qtwidgets depend on gtk?
Post: post 8238654
Reason: I am not a moderator; I can choose to whom I am being nice. Ask a moderator if you think I have not fulfilled my task to enlighten Tony0945 about his question
Sadly, that's not the question to ask, because that wasn't my point.
Obviously he doesn't understand what i was trying to explains him ; do you think asturm has reply in a way that comply with:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Council/Code_of_conduct#Behaviour_and_consequences
Acceptable:
Be courteous. Though respect is earned, it must start somewhere. Respect someones right for their own opinion and acknowledge that they do deserve a measure of politeness in your response.
Or more with :
Unaccetable:
Posting/participating only to incite drama or negativity rather than to tactfully share information. |

If that were enforced I wouldn't see half the posts of Tony0945 in threads I participate.

You're using again the same arguements, i have already tried to told you what is wrong with that:
* If he was doing that, i might certainly not report him, maybe just the worst of the worst.
But if a mod or a dev was, i would.
-> we expect more from them.
* If he have been bad with you, this doesn't grant you any extra credit to do the same, sorry.
maybe you could look at possibility you were wrong, admit an error and pass on while trying to not do it again and we're good. |

You are wrong about how I am using that argument - I feel perfectly comfortable with the way I responded to him, without the need for justification.
| krinn wrote: | | maybe you could look at possibility you were wrong, admit an error and pass on while trying to not do it again and we're good. |
Maybe you would consider Tony0945 does not need a shining white knight in his defence and we're good.
Oh, is that coming from your shining example of how to start a discussion - NOT? Why not make the usual post reference?

My 2 cents worth.
This seems to be an increasing problem, devs coming in with a "seeming" chip on the shoulder, Samuel (sp?) and tom to name a couple.
There are those devs and past devs who answer questions without seeming to have an attitude about it, so it's not all devs.
If someone, ie non-dev, is getting surly out of the blue with a dev, then I would expect the dev to possibly respond in kind,
but that doesn't seem to be the case for some of them, at least that I've seen.
Not sure what the correct answer is, as the moderators here can easily get into a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario.
Edit to add: I don't follow every thread or every interaction, so my view might be a bit naive.

Yeah, you are excused, not being a dev, and not seeing the usual conduct by Tony0945. Make no mistake: None of his go-to one-liners are worth a report, but they certainly have an effect.
As for Ant P.' s report, that one is a bit puzzling; some people can dish it out but cannot take it. I don't hold it against them; move along, nothing to see there.

Topic: Gentoo leaves democracy
Post: post 8240832
Reason: personal attack on one of the developers. Furthermore, it's a criminal offense, at least here in Germany, for very good reasons.
[Moderator note: While in poor taste, I don't understand how that post is a personal attack on any particular developer. Since it was not constructive, binned for now, with the hope that the involved parties will return to civil discourse on their own. -Hu] |

If he really is as old as he claims to be, that is certainly one more proof that age alone does not make you wiser. Also, display of dangerous ignorance.

The forums are not in Germany. Please keep such criminal offenses there

And that's exactly the point. This forum is international and the language is English. Tony0945 decided to attack a developer. He knows or thinks that the developer is German, so he uses German language and accuses him of being a German Nazi. That's one of the worst attacks I've read in the Gentoo discussion forums so far. Really, "Sieg Heil" is the worst thing you can say in Germany - it's by far worse than any of the words banned in the US.
Moderators: please delete Tony0945's post. |
