It was not a sincere offer, since you didn't believe in the basic premise of CA. That of a moderated system.
Let's use Plex as an example. Once Plex Inc released (and maintain) their own template, there is basically zero reason for any of the other Plex containers to be present. The app is the app is the app. What is the actual difference between Plex Inc's container vs linuxserver vs binhex vs hotio vs needo? Absolutely none. Anyone can argue little points back and forth between those four flavours, but when push comes to shove they're identical because it's the app that matters, not the base image etc.
It's this stuff that continually causes the confusion. What do I install? Last time I checked on Google / Apple's play store, if I wanted to install say Candy Crush, there's only a single Candy Crush that actually appears. Should be noted here that not once have the moderators actually removed apps due to duplication. Yet
CA has always been, and always will remain a moderated system. The intent is to not stifle innovation (and it's certainly not censorship), but rather to have a consistent and as trouble-free experience for the end user. Nothing anywhere says you have to utilize it or the apps contained within. Any one can always install a random app they find on docker hub.
Are unilateral decisions made by myself / the moderators of CA. Of course... That's what the system is designed to do. The decisions taken however are (I believe) for the benefit of the Unraid community as a whole. There are fallbacks of course in cases of disputes. I do not have ultimate responsibility for the content of CA, and in cases of disputes I accept the decisions made by the moderators and the administrators of this forum itself.
You don't like how the system works now? I guarantee you're going to hate it in the future. Currently the moderation of CA is based on a reactionary basis. It will switch over to a proactive system in the coming months. This is to ensure that the system that users come to rely upon is safe and secure.
