Hhmm, that's a good point. Maybe there should be a way to have website admins of a certain level, have inkscape.org email address? Just a thought.

- That could be useful. I guess we'll get to that when the mailing system will be setup properly when the lists will be moved, or when the moderation system will be hooked up with mailing.

Or.....well I'm a little curious why you would contact them and ask them to remove it, vs just removing it. As a forum admin, I don't ask spammers to remove their spam. I just ban them and delete their message. And I don't think that's being heavy handed, as far as spamming is concerned. Is it because we don't have an easy delete button yet?

- No, deletion works now :) (thanks, Martin ;) ) The problem is that we do not have any official rules posted anywhere, and thus can't expect people to adhere to them. I prefer to solve this kind of thing on a voluntary basis first, whenever possible. We can still delete uploads, or ban users when that seems unavoidable.

Hi Brynn,

thanks for noticing. I'll write to the user and ask him to remove the advertising. Keep an eye on it and remind me if it's still there in a week or so.

(and I wish there were a way to *not* use my own mail address for this kind of thing - it doesn't look 'official', I don't want spam, and I wouldn't mind sharing this kind of mails with others in a more official kind of way (I'll be CC'ing Martin), without disclosing the recipient's mail address on a mailing list...)

Regards, Maren

Hi Friends, I saw a relatively new image in the gallery, which seems to be there for the purpose of advertising, and nothing else. It's not an image made with Inkscape, or even vector-related. https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/5691/ It seems to be only for the purpose of advertising tagxedo and tagxedo.com. Should be allowed? I realize there could be much worse abuses (and there have been, already), but I'm curious how the Inkscape community sees this. Thanks for discussion :-)

All best, brynn

Hi,

just a couple of thoughts:

I suppose we'll need some policy regarding @inkscape.org accounts. Suggestions?

- Hooking up moderation with a shared sender email address, and copies of all communication sent to the other members, would probably be enough for the moderation part, I think. Moderators would get access to that automatically via the web interface.

- For the more official mail addresses, I'm not sure what we need and what should be the rules. Maybe something like webmaster@, press@(?), contact@ (do we want that? We have the lists...), ... and have those accessible to the corresponding group of people who are sharing the responsibility for that area. There already is a contact form hidden on the website, which is linked from some of the registration pages, for the case that someone can't register. I think currently Martin gets those mails. Maybe even a more accessible contact form could be enough...

I don't think we need personal email addresses, unless maybe the board members want their own to use for official communication ;)

We do need official rules for uploads. Care to propose something?

- I was hoping for the T&C from the SFC to contain those rules, but we might need a more user-understandable summary, too.

To my understanding, uploads should: - conform to US family friendly standards (we might need to explain that, for the non-US people like me...) - not contain malware, spyware, adware or other things that can damage or block a downloader's computer - not be intended to damage the inkscape.org infrastructure - not contain advertising for anything but Free software / Free Culture - not be intended to discrimate against anyone, or to hurt anyone - not be abusing inkscape.org's infrastructure as a file-sharing platform for things totally unrelated with Inkscape - not infringe anyone's copyright - and probably more, like conform to US legislation

On the positive side, I think, in general uploads should: - have a relation to Inkscape (made with it, made for it, have to do with organisation for the project, be an extension for it, teach it,...) - show other users what one can do with Inkscape - help other users to get the most out of Inkscape - be the most welcome if they use open licences, so others can learn more from them

And then there are also the comments which need a set of rules. We currently link to the non-finished CoC...

What are the others' ideas for mails, uploads, T&C, CoC and comments?

Regards, Maren
