Hello,
to provide my two cents on the topic as another random DD, the
way I see the situation is as follows:
a) As the general rule DDs who are not part of planet admin
should IMHO never forcibly remove somebody else's feed from
planet on their own. The planet admins run the service and
whether a feed gets removed from planet is solely their
decision (of course subject to a possible override by the
means defined in our constitution).
b) The only case where I would consider a forced removal of
somebody else's feed by somebody who is not part of planet
admin to be justified would be if the further inclusion of the
feed on planet would constitute a criminal offence in the
jurisdiction where the webserver that serves planet.debian.org
is located, and in this case that would have to be clearly
stated by the person performing the removal.
c) The onus of proof that there are sufficient reasons to remove
somebody else's feed and the onus of going through the
procedure of contacting the planet admins and convincing them
to take action clearly has to be on the person who wants other
people's content removed, and not the other way around.
While the feedowner in question should of course consider other
people's views on the feed's contents, as a consequence of the
previous points, restoring the feed would IMHO be a legitimate
action unless either the issue is covered by point b) or the
planet admins have taken a decision against further inclusion of
the feed on planet and have already communicated this decision to
the feedowner.
Regards,
Karsten
