That's not what the moderator's message about the ban says though, is it?

> The moderation team brought this thread to our attention as the latest example in an ongoing controversy in the community and they escalated the decision to us so that we can provide them clearer guidance for how to proceed going forward. Our moderation team has done an admirable job, but this controversy has escalated beyond the point where moderation actions alone can resolve this.

> To that end, the Steering Committee is banning Anduril from recruiting on Discourse.

Isn't this saying that the ban is because Anduril's job posts causes the community to respond in inappropriate or off-topic ways - an exemplified by the linked thread's comments on Greenland - and that the forum moderators can't clean it all up?




No, the post referring to prior controversies. This includes the exodus of a large number of long-term nixpkgs maintainers after undoing the ban of an Anduril employee.


thank you, that was what I was asking about. I am genuinely out of the loop and don't know anything bout this NixOS forum.
