Exactly which rule of the CoC is he in violation of? Potentially hurting someone's feelings?
Good point. Rules 13 and 16 come the closest
13. Submitting messages that are inflammatory, insulting, antagonistic or made simply with the intent to provoke disruption to the forum. "Trolling" and baiting will not be tolerated. Messages must show respect for other forum members taking into account that people of all ages and cultures participate on these forums. Trolling is deemed to include messages aimed to incite disruption or stir up trouble, without any attempt to contribute positive suggestions or comments.
He was not criticising (or insulting) the quality of Majekear's work, in fact he praised the quality of the work, but was critical of the number of new versions or updates that were being constantly uploaded. He was expressing an opinion, one that we did not have to agree with.
Personally, I would put his opinion down to ignorance of how assets are often developed - but that is just my opinion.
16. Submitting messages that personally attack, insult, threaten, criticise, harass or are clearly disrespectful of the opinions of other forum participants, moderators or staff. This means, if you are engaging in debates that involve discussing, questioning or disputing the opinions and views of others, you are required to do so in a civil manner and ensure that your messages are relevant and on-topic and not personal. This rule does not preclude messages that are critical or questioning in nature. It does, however, require that you avoid commenting on the person's character and carefully consider the tone in such messages to ensure that it is polite and respectful.
None of these points apply to the OP - in my opinion. He was making a point about the updating of assets, one that I believe was based on ignorance as I have indicated above. If we ban posts because they are based on incomplete information, mistaken beliefs, ignorance or just because we don't like them, then there will nothing to discuss in these forums.
So while we may not agree with the opinion of the poster, he has a right to express it in a polite and respectful manner.
