[07:43:40] <crutchy> re the complaint about the debian jessie editing, could i recommend that if editors do more than just fix spelling and grammar that the attribution be removed?
[07:44:02] <crutchy> i'm not the complainer in this case (i wouldn't have been such a asshole about it)
[07:44:10] <crutchy> but i can understand the sentiment
[07:45:02] <crutchy> might be also worth adding something in the submission form about the editing process
[07:45:16] <crutchy> (or making it more obvious if already there)
[07:47:52] <crutchy> Bytram, i hope you didn't take his rant personally. the guy sounded like he had something stuck up his ass in the shape of his head
[07:48:08] <crutchy> you guys do an awesome job

[11:31:43] <CoolHand> regarding the Debian jessie story that bytram posted.. What the AC says was his submission is not what I remember. I remember a submission that was full of apparent sarcasm that I would never have published at all.. So, when I saw it in the story queue I was a bit shocked. Then I saw it was apparently heavily edited to not actually be slamming Debian with backhanded jibes. so, I thought, well, I guess that's ok.. So, either the story
[11:33:04] <CoolHand> In any case, even if heavily edited, I would think most people would still want credit for their submission. I think this dude is just pissed that his attempt to troll/undermine Debian wasn't timely submitted, so now is slamming us..
[11:35:46] <CoolHand> oh, reading the responses now, and see janrinok must have done it during the 2nd edit..

[22:53:33] <mrcoolbp> CoolHand: there's a link to the original submission on the story editing panel

[22:54:46] <CoolHand> mrcoolbp: ah, cool
[22:54:48] <mrcoolbp> CoolHand: I think the important take-away is that if we are gutting someones story (as is sometimes necessary) we should indicate that somehow. One might put "
[22:55:04] <mrcoolbp> "XXX informs us of a link" instead of "writes"
[22:55:11] <mrcoolbp> or whatever
