Just an idea:
first post:Hi, it appears that running Pkg.add("IJulia") is broken. Please fix it or stop advertising this module...
first response: This is a volunteer effort. We regret to inform you that reports and issues in the tone of the above complaint are unacepptable. We cannot (and will not) help you until you ask for help in a polite way.
Status changed: from "open" to "awaiting politeness"

The world contains people who want to act like this @aragnon. It will still contain those people tomorrow. Complaining about their sense of entitlement is not likely to achieve much. And we need to spend very little effort with these requests. We need procedure. We need simple rules, and absolute enforcement.
I don't know that Ijulia is, but I thank you guys for your efforts!
- tzs 11y agoIf the problem reported is real and affects many users, then I don't see how refusing to fix it because the person who actually reported it is an ass is reasonable. You are essentially suggesting that all users who experience the problem be punished because the one who reported it is a jerk.
- chaz72 11y agoNo, I like it. The jerk is shut down and not rewarded until he can communicate like a civilized person. The person who shuts him down can still pick up on the complaint and get the bug fixed for everyone else - and if not, then any widespread problem will eventually have at least one polite request entered, right?
