[anti-abuse-wg] Astroturfing?

Carlos

I've absolutely zero issue with new people engaging, but lots of one line "+1" or almost identical emails isn't meaningful engagement. 

Regards

Michele

    Hi Michele, All,
    
    I had to Google for 'astroturfing'. I learned something today. :-)
    
    As i see it, the "community" is not a closed group.
    
    It was repeateadly stated that "consensus" or "rough consensus" is not a 
    vote. I think that is clear for everyone.
    
    Just like a few days ago i wrote that i hoped there wasn't any kind of 
    discrimination against portuguese participants, i hope there isn't also 
    any kind of discrimination against new participants on this WG.
    
    I may understand if some people prefer to have less people in the WG, but 
    i'm not part of that set.
    While worrying about how we can improve rules/tools against Abuse (that's 
    the point of an Anti-Abuse WG, right?), i would also like to see a much 
    larger number of people involved!
    
    If someone has any doubt about if newcomers are real persons, then 
    please Google away. :-)
    
    I met in person most of people that are supporting 2019-03 and also 
    those that are opposing it (some of which i even co-authored other 
    proposals), since a while back.
    
    ps: I think i haven't met Sebastien Lahtinen in person since 10y or so, so 
    if 2019-03 made him show up on the list, that's another plus :-))
    
    Best Regards,
    Carlos
