(The GNOME news block will be in the wgo homepage anyway, it is not
affected by this Planet block discussion)
I would automatically agree with Karderio and you if we would be talking
about a gnomesupport.org forum feed, instead of the feed of a Planet
where only thoughtfully selected GNOME contributors are aggregated.
This looks to me like one of those measures in which a 0,1% risk avoids
a 99,9% joy. But if this is what we want, no problem.
My last attempt to defend this block in the wgo home:
The cool gnome-is-people Planet block with its little hackergotchis and
its genuine content renewed automatically several times a day all year
round should be discarded to avoid... the rather small probability of
having offensive words during some hours in the title of a blog post of
a GNOME contributor trusted enough to be aggregated in Planet GNOME.
Considering also that probably GNOME contributors will think it twice
when using these words if they know that they will automatically appear
in the wgo homepage. Also peer moderation would play a role if something
like this would ever happen.
