In the meanwhile on techstaff channels:

It's very sad to read about the maemo wiki page being spammed while sitting at the MC Donalds and enjoying a tasty double cheese burger. I never understood those spammers anyway there must be some kind of borderline personality disorder involved to make them do these type of actions.

meanwhile.
I reported the spam to techstaff, only to be told I was pointing fingers.
Wont make that "mistake" again.

Good luck in finding out who did this, if simply posting "i reported" is fingerpointing, im out.

This was - in my opinion - a serious issue - and pointing fingers at who reports is not serious.

I will consider what this means to my involvement!

bye

neildk,

IMO, as a community member, you should be posting such a log for all to see so that it doesn't paint all techstaff with the same brush and also adds some clarity to your words.

Re: Wiki got spammed
 

I take what happened serious, and I wont point fingers at specific persons.
I will however discuss this with council, as well as board.
If the person being identified in another thread can be confirmed, it should have consequences, as should it not taking any clues into consideration.
It is quite normal to use whistleblowsers, and while some nay not like it, it is effective.
Now, I dont think poibting out individuals in public is the right thing to do, but I do believe giving any - even the slightest - hints to those responsible for incidents, in a closed loop, is the right action!

Re: Wiki got spammed
 

Sorry I think I am missing the source of your frustration; is it you being put down for reporting a spam attack or is it because there was a disagreement regarding whodunnit?

I merely wanted you to paste a log for "if simply posting "i reported" is fingerpointing, im out." to understand why just reporting can be interpreted this way.

I still feel pasting of log without naming whodunnit is a transparent practice instead of it being hidden away between the few people in board and/or council...

Re: Wiki got spammed
 

the post in question was not by me (it was namibg a oerson of community)
That post have, I see, been removed.
This is good, persons are innocent, until proven guilty.
As for tech, I think they are all good, and responding in best intention.
There was a misunderstanding of who named a member as offending in a public post.
I reported the spam to tech - including that name - for investigation, and some persons thought I posted name in public post.
This IS now sorted out, and I do not want to name individuals, As I do not want any of our good staff to get offended and stop their good work.
It is human and it is very easy to misunderstand short mails, I am probably to blame as well for being too short of words in my report.
So, apologiges to tech members for that !

Indeed... Anyway I hope you do re-think your approach of rage-quitting or posting a goodbye message every time you feel slighted (not referring to just this case) and then getting back in the fold once things are clearer. Calmer heads are always better after all :)
