Complaint by fititnt about communities:br moderator

[Matija_Nalis]

Is there a reason why this is in this thread, instead of separate one? It does not seem related.

@fititnt

TL;DR

Thanks for that TL;DR summary at least . Trying to make sense of that post seems littered with several different things that do not seem to make much sense to me (if you have several different issues, might I suggest opening a separate thread for each one? That might make it more readable).

Are you sure you wanted to make this a public post, as it seems it needs a intimate knowledge of things that are not known to public?

@fititnt

complain about the moderator (the same warned early) on

Well, if you wish to complain about some moderator, I’d guess you should specify which one? I can’t find that in that TL;DR.

@fititnt

Also, on Mapeamento Aberto para Gestão de Riscos - reunião para conversar sobre o assunto - #30 by EvertonBortolini, the moderatior implied that even contacting the person might break the forum rules

I don’t speak the language, but the Discourse translation claims this was said: “@fititnt For ethical reasons regarding privacy, I advise you to contact people to ask for their emails and ask for permission to send them messages.” - is that fair translation? If so, I don’t see how you inferred that it means “contacting the person might break the forum rules”?

You can contact the people by using community forum, like I can mention @fititnt, right? Don’t you think the users have a right to decide whether they should share their e-mail with somebody? In EU it is a law, I have no idea about Brazil, but it seems common sense and polite thing to do anywhere. If someone wants to give you their e-mail, they can do it themselves, right?

@fititnt

I’m even suspecting that cited names may either not exist or not be aware their name was used in the minutes

What “cited names”? That post you qouted in your TL;DR above does not seem to cite any names?

@fititnt

point to the public reply from the OpenStreetMap Foundation board that they need to give me access to content previously mentioned in the suspension I had early this year, as described here https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Board/Minutes/2023-04#On_availability_of_content_used_for_moderation_decisions_to_the_people_being_suspended_on_OSMF_channels,_prior_to_an_appeal . I

Um, where is in those Minutes stated that they “need to give you access to content previously mentioned in the suspension”? If anything, it says “In general we are not going to publish private messages in such context” which seems to me completely opposite to what you claim?

… From trying to read the rest of the post (which is very hard. Perhaps some of it is due to English not being your native language, but you should try to be more concise in any case; introduction to how NGOs work around the world does not seem required information unless asked for) I can only gleam that (one of the?) issue might be related that “some HOTUSI member is refering to HOTUSI as members and groups of the Brazilian OpenStreetMap community”, which might be problematic, but your TL;DR does not even mention that so it is complete mystery to me what are you complaining about exactly.
