The user was contacted, he didn't react as I understood. There for he 
was "short time blocked". That's a very fair and fine reaction from the 
DWG. The user was not banned or something, just blocked for short time 
to gain his attention.
And: why should the DWG contact the french community at first? The user 
being is the contacted, which is sufficient accoording to my 
understanding. If the user likes it he can involve the community. But 
that's not the job ob the DWG. And I even would avoid to do so for 
privacy reasons.


Best regards,
Michael.
