I venture that the silent majority will be hoping that those who continue to "flog a dead horse" on another thread will take particular note of the requirement to " avoid repetitive arguments".

Hello Alexandre.

Code of conduct is concise enough and quite understandable. Neat, clean, perfect.

If you don't mind one comment I'd just have written "Stick to plain text" instead of "Stick to standards" (which besides is a plural form while what is requested leaves only one option, which I'm perfectly fine with, that said.)

Kind regards, Vince C.

Hi,

We've just introduced a short code of conduct for all of our mailing lists instead of the long netiquette guidelines we used to have.

Please read it at http://www.gimp.org/mail_lists.html.

The changes take effect immediately.

The lists have been set up drop the html parts. If a message does not contain a plain text part, it is discarded automatically.

Something we can't fix this way, unfortunately, is top-posting and full-quotes :)

Michael

Thanks for the explanation Michael. Plain agreed on that.

My comment though was rather about the formulation of the text: don't say "Stick to standards" if what you want clearly is "Stick to plain text". I'd suggest rephrasing that very sentence a little to make the stand incontrovertible.

Cheers,

Vince C.
