The Discussion report has traditionally been for covering discussion of policy and other aspects of the project that are broadly relevant to the community, rather than reporting of specific requests for comment related to user behavior. I don't see the latter as very constructive to cover in the Signpost; it serves to embarass individual editors, but doesn't have much benefit for the community. I welcome other viewpoints; my view is that we shouldn't publish discussion reports in this vein.--ragesoss (talk) 16:35, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. These appear to be RFCs, although there are no links to the items in question. RFCs have no formal effect on the community and can be unpredictable, idiosyncratic and sometimes unwarranted. —mattisse (Talk) 18:12, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
