Hi Community, Community Commitee, Moderators
The message: lists.ffmpeg.org pipermail ffmpeg-devel/2024-December/337868.html
Is unacceptable. We had alot of messages but this one went too far.
This kind of message, could be in the result of a search on my name.
And a person, customer or otherwise could quite plausible belive its content.
This would have real world consequences for me, even if i spend a week replying
to every claim in that message, as the person finding such message likely would
not even try to read all the replies, which would correct all claims, one by one.
I could loose customers, be denined a future job or opertunity or other.
Thus I/we will have to remove this message from the archives. Also the only way
to prevent this from endlessly reoccuring is to moderate its author. which
I intend to implement unless the CC decides for a different solution.
This was also not a mail written in jest or a mail written in anger.
As the server admin, i cannot leave messages that target people like this
on our server and under our domain.
Not to even mention the tremendous amount of time it takes to go over
one accusation at a time and argue about it. Time FFmpeg falls behind with the
next release, time FFmpeg accumulates unfixed security issues. Both are already
happening as a consequence of similar mails sent over the last months, yes
i spend more time in this sort of thing than being able to work on FFmpeg.
thx
PS: if anyone actually wants to discuss any claim that where made in that mail.
Thats of course possible. But it cannot be in the form of making
accusations/claims and requiring them to be corrected.
