Your mail which kicked off the original thread said this:

"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/oktarahadian/~3/3LGRNs5v_cw/

Is it just me who takes issue with a 400x400 px ubuntu logo on the top
Planet Fedora?

~m"

So the problem is.... 400x400.... logos? Really?

I've seen a lot of really poorly-formatted, obnoxiously-sized images
(even to my clearly non-designer eyeballs) on planet.fp.o in the past.
Nobody has ever commented on any of those on the board mailing list,
nor have those blog posts ever resulted in a mailing-list discussion
about filtering -content-.

Maybe people jumped on the ubuntu angle rather than the 400x400 bit
and should not have. Also, I understand that you are saying some
guidelines would be nice.  If we want to have guidelines relating to
artistic quality and so forth, then, I wish you luck enforcing those
posts.  If we want to have loose guidelines saying, "be excellent,
don't post porn pictures, and try to refrain from cursing in 48-point
font," then I think that's acceptable as well. If we want to have
guidelines saying "we can only talk about Fedora stuff here," and
turning the main planet page into a Fedora-only place, taking away the
community element, and relegate all Non-Fedora stuff to a page that
nobody visits, I think that is very, very problematic.  And that is
precisely where this thread has gone.
