Is anyone using my Gentoo repo?
Recently, my `o11c` overlay started failing QA checks. While I used Gentoo (I now use Debian primarily and NixOS for playground), I was maintaining more-up-to-date versions of Manaplus, Tiled, Attoconf, and TMWA, as well as occasionally fixing bugs in other packages that I came across. Unless anyone...

Resignation
I feel that I am no longer able to uphold my obligations under my sense of professional ethics. See the ACM code . In particular, I cannot deal with: A lack of due caution when using with dangerous tools. Failure to respect and enforce the rules we agreed to, or even the idea of rules at all. Failur...

Re: CrazyTree Ban
Our rules are plenty good. We have often *discussed* the possibility of allowing more bots, but until one of those discussions results in an actual approval, "no bots" stands.
It really isn't that hard to be extra-careful.

Re: Tentative formal declaration of bot approval procedure [
PS we should either @ban or git push guild bot. Ugh, how much I wish we'd had our (current, informal) or (imminent, formal) rules for approval of bots when guild started to exist - they never would have allowed it at the time, and we undoubtedly would have had a more reliable alternative by now. Ma...

Re: Tentative formal declaration of bot approval procedure [
The fact that it was even *possible* for Confused Tree to dissappear forever violates your assertion that it's "a problem that doesn't really exist".veryape wrote:Why make it complicated and go after a problem that doesn't really exist?

Re: CrazyTree Ban
"We trust our GMs to use their brains" is not carte blanche permission to ignore the rules, especially in cases where it has been proven to be a bad idea to ignore. That makes this *worse* for me, since I *do* know our GMs are not dumb, yet they're not enforcing rules that history has prov...

Re: Tentative formal declaration of bot approval procedure [
I just don't see the need to run them on the server. That makes them "finished", we could host bots upon request - but i do not see the urge to have them all hosted at the server. The uptime thing is up to the bots creator imo. If it's not "finished", it doesn't belong on the ma...

Re: Confused Tree's brother is up
the rules say "NO Bots", I can't argue that, but we have historically made exceptions to this rule. Confused tree for example, And the fact that you made an exception was a disaster. I "plain disagree"d (see below), and turned out to be right. The fact that this bot was allowed ...

Re: Tentative formal declaration of bot approval procedure [
We should avoid too much text if possible before it becomes a tl;dr ;) Also too many rules discourage people. We don't want *too* many bots. I suggest that we phrase it like the GM questionaire checklist. Probably put the "subject to discretion anyway" line as a header. If they can't pay ...

Re: CrazyTree Ban
I get that people are upset with me because the new bot was "allowed" and then blocked. What I *don't* understand is why everybody is defending its past right to have blatantly violated the rules. Ignoring the fact that Confused Tree was violating the rules was *exactly* what lost it to us...

Re: Confused Tree's brother is up
TMWC, the C stands for committee. Most of us had talked about it in the game, I dont believe i saw you on line to discuss it with. Absolutely it does stand for committee. No single member of the committee has the power to waive the "No bots" rule. Where is the TMWC discussion thread allow...

Re: Confused Tree's brother is up
Bots don't run on "it is better to ask forgiveness than permission". At the very least there needs to be a post in the private forum for approving that specific bot, just like we do for GMs who pass the polls.
