Comment (by mschwendt):

 I'm not familiar with twitter. The '@' (at) notation predates twitter. It
 makes it more obvious (and more readable) that some person is being
 addressed and that the word after the '@' is a username and not an acronym
 such as 'afaics' or 'iirc'.

 [...]

 With regard to the mentoring, I think the entire proventesters area is
 still experimental and a constant learning-process also for the mentors.
 Guidelines are updated as new conclusions are drawn.


 My concerns are that you never give any hint about what you've tested or
 how much you've used a new package. It's always a plain "works for me",
 even for packages that are not in the repos yet, which means you must have
 downloaded them from koji. If you've done that, you've never mentioned it.
 In many other cases you vote +1 a few hours already after a package has
 been pushed to the repos. And you do that for an overwhelming (!) variety
 of packages (a multitude I cannot sum up here). How much of that stuff do
 you really use?

 [...]

 Then there's this:

 Still, at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2011-17155  you
 have not explained your -1. As subsequent testers are expected to retest
 for issues reported by previous testers, you need to follow the guidelines
 and post details. I cannot take back my earlier -1 because it is not known
 what issue you've found.
