Hello,

If it occurs at the forum of a FSDG compliant distro that now and then
non-free software is mentioned, how do you handle this?

The question came to my mind because of
http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Free_System_Distribution_Checklist#Only_Suggests_Free_Software

Deleting the posts would be censorship and I think this would be not
good.

Non-free software "should be discouraged if someone brings them up."
All right, but in case of many new users or a high-traffic forum a
small team wouldn't be able to discourage every reference to non-free
software because of their limited resources.

What about references of NON-FSDG software? Let's say if someone would
post instructions how to install a Linux kernel with included blobs or
any other software mentioned on
http://libreplanet.org/wiki/List_of_software_that_does_not_respect_the_Free_System_Distribution_Guidelines?

I can imagine that there is a situation where such posts are overseen by a 
small team.

Henry
