The TU's aren't judges in criminal court. It's totally ok and beneficial if they apply some pragmatism and common sense. Hell, even real court judges are allowed to vary in their decisionmaking. No, you're not discriminated because they stopped your reaction. I hope you can understand and accept that.
I understand. But I just don't get why I was banned. TU said this will be helpful to identify not complying packages. I just did that. It wasn't an automated script or something. And this is just requests, it is for TUs to make a decision. Unfortunately there is no "check" request type for simply bring attention, so I filled deletes.
Also I don't see any mentions about how much requests user can make. If you guys have problems with it, please share the limits publicly, e.g. on the wiki page. Identifying not complying packages is surely helpful /if done properly/, but certainly not in that form. Once again, while we appreciate your will to help, no one asked or expected you going in such a hunt and reporting that much packages at once with the same predefined and vague message (" Not allowed by AUR submission guidelines"). Reporting needs a bit of interpretation and judgement regarding the rules (and the

P.S. Regarding common sense. I will be glad if someone will explain how my package (libinput-light), which was created to drop libwacom dependency (How much users have wacom tablets? I think even 1% of the userbase will be generous overestimation.), considered harmful and deleted, but packages like https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-slim stripped down to hell and literally stating "Zero compatibility" in the description are still alive for years?
First of all, as I already said to you, there's currently /way/ more than 80 000 packages in the AUR for 61 volunteers TUs to moderate them all. Please, understand that we cannot have eyes everywhere at once nor be aware of every AUR packages that exists. And secondly, I don't think reporting a package for the sole reason that you think that "if mine has been deleted then this one should too" is a sane and appreciated approach.
TU's aren't judges, as you said, but I definitely want some justice here.
Don't worry, regardless, the package you linked will be examined and "justice" will be made if needed :) -- Regards, Robin Candau
