[OSM-talk] Odp: Re: Nominatim - censorship at github pages

[cm-sanitas@wp.pl]

Hi,  This time I have not risen an issue of the way how the project is maintained/developed. I did it last time, nobody seemed very concerned and for sure not much have change since then. I understand that maybe by being nice you can achieve more. But in the end there are some facts and refusing to accept them because they weren't presented in a kind way makes people a bit  delusional.   But  as I said. I am here because of censorship and I wanted to have the decision explained. Someone decided the Nominatim comes under OpenStreetMap umbrella, the fork is being deployed under osm domain, it's linked around the osm pages. I would have expected it runs in more transparent way and it's not run without any over watch.

And If you want to understand the other side, read this:     "Why I didn’t fix your bug"    magnusmanske.de magnusmanske.de wordpress/?p=518  so "Be nice" and give a positive surprise   ( for example add a picture of a cute animal for your issue;   example:   github.com github.com pull/36630  )  disclaimer:  - I have 1 accepted contributions:   github.com  github.com/openstreetmap/ Nominatim/pull/690    Regards,  Imre    2018-03-26 12:43 GMT+02:00    cm-sanitas at wp.pl   <   cm-sanitas at wp.pl > :  Hi,  Some time ago on this mailing list I expressed
concern about the way Nominatim is being maintained. In short, I
criticized that this important service is being neglected and is
maintained in a way which makes it quite impossible to contribute to. My
opinion meet with hostility (which I don't really mind). But what I mind
 is censorship. Lately somebody else noticed [1] that having pull
request opened for 6 years without any explanation why it's not merged
doesn't look good. I contributed to the discussion, explained the
reasoning for having it opened (which was presented to me during last
time I took part in discussion here). Now I look at the pull request 's
discussion and turns out my comment was removed.   Can
 somebody tell me why it is that? In my opinion the fact I am not liked
by the maintainers, shouldn't result in deleting my on topic comments.
Is there some oversight over moderation? Can I somehow repeal the
decision? Or at least get some explanation why my comment was removed?
