Greetings! I'm a planet admin although, as you suggest, I think this is outside of the area of documented policy. <quote who="Sam Hartman" date="Tue, May 21, 2019 at 06:15:05AM -0400"> > Imagine that I get a note from a random developer saying they have > removed my blog from planet.

The problems caused by a revert war are greater than the threat of a person not being on planet for a short period of time. As a result, I think it's best not to start a "war" by reverting a change without first understanding or attempting to address the underlying problem or getting feedback from the planet admins that the problem that caused removal in the first place can be ignored. As a result, I think the preferred approach would be your (2): > 2) Ask the planet admins to respond to the situation and either help > me understand the problem or add my blog back. If somebody removes a feed from planet because they think it is on the wrong side of appropriate behavior within Debian, the appropriate first step is to discuss it with the parties involved. I think it's part of the planet admins' job to mediate this conversation. If consensus on an outcome cannot be reached this way, the conversation will likely need to move a mailing list and/or leadership within the project. I'd be happy to document this on the Planet wiki page. I understand that this approach gives everyone with access to the repository on salsa the power to temporary silence anyone else. I think that the benefits of this level of openness (documented in the list of actions Joerg shared) are high enough that they outweigh he risks this introduces.
