[FusionWeb] Rico's admin privleges on the forum (Was: Anyone I missed?)

[d_garbage]

Dear community members,

I really hoped that we had left behind this level of conflict and anger.
Whatever the reason for it and whoever the cause, can i please make a  
humble plea, for people to calm down?
Speaking as a fairly un-distinguished contributor to the project, and one  
who has made heartfelt but ill-advised posts in the past, i would urge  
that people stick to the code of conduct proposed by Cyberorg:

Hello Community

I have put together some ideas of what should be a code of conduct
when interacting with users and other developers of the community, and
the decision making model we can adopt for our project.

__________

Code of Conduct

Calm, respectful, dignified, understanding, intelligent, useful

1. Be respectful of others *always*
2. Try and understand other contributor's perspective
3. Always believe everyone wants to do the best for the project
4. Before posting anything or replying on ML/Forum
    take a moment before hitting send to ask yourself the following:
     a. Is there anything there which might offend anyone
     b. Is this post going to benefit the discussion/project
     c. Has these things been said/discussed already?
     d. Could what you are saying be misinterpreted as criticism, or
wrong due to language barriers or personal barriers?
     e. Is what you are posting a suggestion, solution or a problem? If
it is third do not hit 'send', start a new topic asking if this
problem can be addressed.
5. Stick to the topic

________________

Decision-Making Process

Propose -> discuss -> amicable decision

Propose -> discuss -> no decision -> obby (If we do this, we need to
make obby as well known as possible) -SmSpillaz document pros/cons ->
committee vote -> decision

If a practical decision cannot be made, we need to actually make
samples of each solution and test them to see if they work in practice

1. Committee including all contributors should be formed to arbitrate  
whenever a
  amicable decision is not reached even after reasonable deliberation
on the ML/Forum.

2. "Reasonable deliberation" can be defined as any thread with over 50  
posts.

3. All the parties involved should get to put their views listing pros and  
cons
in one obby document, the committee will go through it and vote, majority  
vote
will have to be accepted by all. The same process we followed when
selecting new name.

4. No single individual will take decision on important matters without
following this process.

Everyone, please "take a breath" and think how best to procede for the  
benefit of the project and it's reputation.
This kind of stuff HAS to stop, right now, before we mess up our "fresh  
start".

Thank you for listening.
Love,
David
