an op on the IRC channel, system administration of our servers, etc. For these, we can only have a restricted number of people taking care of them, because otherwise (with all developers trying to help) it would be a mess. However, this does not (and should not) grant them any superpowers on the project: people occupying these positions are supposed to only execute decisions made by the Haiku project. Unless, ...

Seriously, I thought that we are civilized enough that we don't need million billion rules and procedures for almost everything and if there are any issues we can just discuss that particular case. ...

Hi, Before I say anything else, I'd just like to say I'm sorry for all of this. Exclusion was not my intention at all.

People using an unconfigured vision (as #HaikuUser) will not be able to join No, that's not the type of ban we enabled. Anyone can still join the channel, but only registered users can talk. You get a message from the IRC server saying you must be identified with services if you try to send any messages while unauthenticated. ...

A quick survey we ran before we enabled this showed that a large percentage (90/120, IIRC) of people in #haiku already authenticate by default. There are a large number of people in #haiku who never talk, so we thought that adding this flag would only serve to inconvenience people while they set up NickServ / added their password into Vision's settings / etc. ...

revoking commit access if one breaks the build and doesn't fix the problem in, let's say, 3 hours. What would be the point of such policy though? I mean, aside from trying to reduce number of contributors to 0. Do we really want to say now that each decision one makes must be discussed with the other members of the project otherwise if there are objections someone would propose revoking some of your powers? Sure, ...

Hello, gave all that power. Abuse of power -- please let's not blow things out of proportion. The Haiku project is organized as a meritocracy. People who contribute gain trust and privileges. They are supposed to (and do) use these privileges ...

It is an important change of policy and should have been discussed and submitted to a vote if there was not a strong agreement in either direction.

While I do completely agree with the sentiment, I think we should leave it a first-and-last warning to waddlesplash not to make such impacting decisions without consulting the dev-list. He's one of the most active people on IRC and having him as op makes sense. Removing him from op won't show us if he's learned from this incident. ...
