Whissi to take action and push forward removing support for deltas. 4. Open floor ========== question from developer b-man: " I would like the council to consider a second decision for the forums. Something along a warning for the current forum mods team to enforce the CoC. If not, their permissions will be removed. As clearly shown earlier... one mod does not agree with several others reports of sexist and racist comments As OTW is shut, there is potential for this to spill over to other areas. Failure to enforce will result in the removal of permissions. It may also be considered that forum mods directly reports to the council as QA does. Just a few options...please adjust as needed." Resolution: Open floor topic is non-actionable now and proposed items need wider community discussion
