TimC and AdamH are putting together a CFV motion.  There may be several
semi-overlapping and/or independent options to consider:

  2) remove JW's posting privileges to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw
  3) remove JW's posting privileges to lugnet.cad.dev.dat.parts.*
  4) remove JW's posting privileges to lugnet.cad.dev.dat.*
  5) remove JW's posting privileges to lugnet.cad.*
  5) remove JW's posting privileges to lugnet.*
  6) fill-in-the-blank

As I understand it, some mix of the above would be the outcome if a
delivered ultimatum was not met within some proscribed time period.

About these voting options, the votes for a more severe restriction should
carry over to a less severe restriction if that particular restriction
recieves the 2/3 majority votes.  For example:

25% vote for removal from lugnet.*
50% vote for removal from lugnet.cad.*
25% vote not to remove JW's privileges at all

Now this is an oversimplification of the case, but this is to prove a point
and kill a headache on my part by making things a little mroe realistic :)

The votes for lugnet.* would be counted as votes for lugnet.cad.* since
cad.* is included under lugnet.* and lugnet.cad.* received more
votes.  This would push the votes for lugnet.cad.* to 75%, thus exceeding
the 2/3 majority requirement.

I support what you are trying to do in the voting but it may be more straightforward to present a series of up/down propositions and commentary that the broader ones will supercede the narrower ones if passed.

(...) That doesn't follow. The choices aren't mutually exclusive, are they? I thought these were separate, independently voted-upon percentages. If so, then they can't be combined mathematically as described above. Consider: If you had 95% vote for (...) (25 years ago, 17-Aug-99, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.admin.general)
