Hello,
First, there's no need to shorten our names. It's not something like a
prohibited word.
aur/wechat was wechat-uos-bwrap and wechat-uos-qt respectively before.
They are merged into wechat on that very day because I'm busy doing
other stuff before that and rushing will probably result in a broken
package.
The guidelines was already written well before. *I'd say you can't only
support the rules when you benefit from it*, after all rules are rules.
It exists to reduce confusion and prevent duplicated effort spent, which
sadly did not happen to this app.
Hostile actions are taken by some problematic users including cursing,
spamming and harassment towards maintainer and her family. You have
chosen to hide the fact that comment & requests spam is happening
everyday on wechat and, the guidelines have moderation effect. Some
users reported to me that multiple voting requests towards wechat-bin
has happened in WeChat's official QQ group presumably to gain votes
maliciously and mislead people to spam wechat's comment area, though
this is not verified by me.
My blog posts are indeed expressing negative feeling of prolonged action
delay, it was not targeted at anyone and you can safely consider it as a
rant and not some harassment that actually happened on the AUR.
Regarding the replaces array, that happened before moderators sort out
whether -bin is a duplicated package.
There was nothing "silenced". Even harassment comments are still there
as you have posted several of them. And you seems to be ignoring the
fact wechat-bin still contains no modification. To me those users is
simply having too much conformity and somewhat a cult of the leader. I
hope this can be proven wrong though.
Have a nice day.
