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

[cm-sanitas@wp.pl]

Funny thing. Same thread but on dev mailing list ended up with censorship as well. That is my on topic, non vulgar and not spammy message was rejected because "Your message was deemed inappropriate by the moderator.". Seriously? I am raising the issue that deleting people's massages because you don't agree with them is not ok and someone decides it's good idea to play censor as well. My intention was not to show people in power that they can do whatever they want in OSM community without facing any conseqences. So I am sorry to anyone who wishes to discuss unpopular opinions here. I guess instead of making this place better, I made it worse. Sorry.

                   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?
