It appears the original complaint was a mistake. Perhaps someone was confused. The RIPE Forum is a read-only medium and people aren’t able to post comments there. No matter.

My earlier comment still holds. Expressions of support for co-chair candidates have to be posted on this list. You can’t use RIPE Forum for that even if you wanted to.

Thanks to Marita for looking into this.

I've been doing some checking in the meantime - due to the spam problems we had previously, we closed the forum for posting.  It's available in read-only mode, so people can't have been posting comments there anyway.
