After connecting some dots, it came to our notice that some conduct reports written through the conduct.gnome.org form might have been silently lost. If you have sent a report between Jan 5th 2026 and Sep 28th 2026 and got no response for it, we invite you to send it again, either through the form or conduct@gnome.org.

How

In Jan 5th, GNOME sysadmins introduced a filter to the CoC report form to prevent attempts of SQL injection. The filter was however overeager, filtering out messages containing certain natural English words that matched a subset of the SQL syntax. We do not know the full impact of this filter yet. After the issue came to our notice the GNOME sysadmins quickly fixed it on Sept 28th.

We appreciate GNOME sysadmins’ diligence and the speedy fix.

If you’ve sent a message in this time period through the conduct.gnome.org form and are missing a response from the CoCC, we invite you to send the report again. It sounds likely that it was filtered down and missed by the CoCC.
