First of all, to make it clear, we are not going to censor topics that we do 
not find appealing just because they may not be something we want to read. The 
reason the moderation was put on and intended to be so for just a short period 
is because we want to prevent direct personal attacks on individuals and groups 
which would be a violation of the Qt Code of Conduct. We have not censored any 
posts so far and if a post is going to be rejected by moderation then this will 
be explained to the person making the post so they will be free to make 
adjustments accordingly to remove anything that would violate the Qt Code of 
Conduct.

The global moderation is only going to be for a very short period, and we will 
lift it because we do not want to prevent open discussion and so on, the 
intention is to make sure this stays a safe space for the community to interact 
and not feel afraid to be persecuted for their beliefs. Personal attacks on any 
individual or group of people will not be tolerated.

Kind regards,
Andy

Mails on uncontroversial topics will be let through,
but please understand that moderation will induce some delay.

Is there an uncontroversial definition of 'controversial topic'? Has it been 
breached recently?

I am no trying to defend anyone here, but this decision looks like censorship 
to me.

There are alternatives to silence some one if you don't like the topics brought 
forward (eg. Filter: to, from or cc contains xyz)

If the recent events haven't breached the code of conduct that was reminded to 
us all, please lift this unilaterally taken decision that imped the whole 
community.

Ps: I usually don't read emails from xyz fully, but every now and then, I like 
the critical approach, I just wish that these emails were straight to the point.



Cheers
