since we stopped banning Jorge after he seemed to understood his negative impact, and left, he obviously forgot so hard about it that reading about it doesn't help anymore. I would like to actually ban Jorge this time. Just for the books. Any opinions? How should we proceed?
Normally I would vote for the community to manage itself(trolls get ignored and burn themselves out); However given the extreme circumstances with the reasons for his ban ,and his tenaciousness on trolling, I completely agree that we should set up some basic protections to prevent his re-entry into the project.
His presence always invoked outlandish everyone vs Jorge arguments which wasted HUGE amounts of developer time and was generally bad for the Haiku ecosystem. I agree that a special case be and propose the following blocks be added:
1) Jorge will be banned from Haiku sponsored meetings and conferences.2) All of Jorge's known email addresses will be blocked on the site, dev site, and mailing lists. 3) A watchful eye will be kept open for Jorge sneaking back into the community under an alias. (this has already happened once)
Overall I think the small amount of effort to enforce this ban would save the project a lot of drama and keep developers developing instead of arguing with Jorge on outlandish requests.
