commit 0aacc070369d7f9614de9132b2f9e567b96a20bf Author: Roger Dingledine arma@torproject.org Date: Tue Apr 12 19:54:04 2016 -0400
encourage rejected relays to contact us
When the directory authorities refuse a bad relay's descriptor, encourage the relay operator to contact us. Many relay operators won't notice this line in their logs, but it's a win if even a few learn why we don't like what their relay was doing.
Resolves ticket 18760.
I didn't specify a contact mechanism (e.g. an email address), because every time we've done that in the past, a few years later we noticed that the code was pointing people to an obsolete contact address. --- changes/feature18760 | 6 ++++++ src/or/dirserv.c | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
