[Noisebridge-discuss] A CALL TO NOISEBRIDGE HACKERS AND COMMUNITY AT LARGE: BANNING RAYC/ROBERT?

[Mark Ellis]

WTF!?!?!?!?!? Not again! Cut this complaining about banning shit out!


Seriously, be quiet. While it's yet to be seen if banning is warranted after mediation it's still a viable option if the offender is unable to be civil in the space. Pitching fits doesn't help anything.
