> I was banned from the Go issue tracker without explanation, and was unable to continue discussing the problem with Google.
is completely asinine. But it's also par for the course when it comes to interacting with Google. When is anyone going to hold them to account for their terrible customer service and community interaction?
Regardless, I don't really want to re-litigate it here. The main issue is that Google has been DoS'ing SourceHut's servers for two years, and I think we can all agree that there is no conduct violation for which DoS'ing your servers is a valid recourse.
Spoiler: Nothing.
edit: Possibly not as much nothing, see the replies to [0]. But the GH search kinda sucks for this.
> I was banned from the Go issue tracker for mysterious reasons [ In violation of Go’s own Code of Conduct, by the way, which requires that participants are notified moderator actions against them and given the opportunity to appeal. I happen to be well versed in Go’s CoC given that I was banned once before without notice — a ban which was later overturned on the grounds that the moderator was wrong in the first place. Great community, guys. ]
When a story has two sides and one party chooses to keep silent when accused, I tend to favor the accuser.
