User contributions:forname of releases after 0.7:ORCAH
The post in user contributions referring to naming the new release has been...locked.
It seems such action has to be accompanied by notification of the author...such was not done.
It amounts to censorship and the voice of the user is disregarded. The names suggested will never appear anywhere, even on the subsequent releases after 0.7.
Many "polls" appear in arch most based on poor questions at the outset because the comparisons implied in the polls have never occured because the userrs have never used all types involved in the poll question. Perhaps ambiguous polls should be locked as well?
Thank you for following the rules about closing, moving, and otherwise handling an author's input. I guess these rules apply to user only?
Prediction...This year will be a very odd year!

No such thing as censorship on a private forum. 
Also, Arch is based in Canada. They're not big on "rights".

Re: User contributions:forname of releases after 0.7:ORCAH
I agree with the 1st poster. why a thread was locked down?
I didn't participated but what's so bad about proposing a name of a distro?
thank you
ps. if you're an american [the last poster] you shouldn't compare your country's currect human rights with Canada's. No offense

Re: User contributions:forname of releases after 0.7:ORCAH
it's because the name's already been decided.
And where were all the sportsmen who always pulled you though?

One more post like that, suggesting a name for 0.7, and this thread gets it! Don't push me, man! You know I'll do it!

Re: User contributions:forname of releases after 0.7:ORCAH
Nah, we weren't on against you. For the record though, no more name posts. from anybody.
0.7 has been named, don't ask us why it hasn't been updated on the front page; that's just weird. :-D 0.7 will be named:
