I subscribe to 5 or 6 work related newsgroups/mailing lists. I subcribe to a
few others which relate to my personal life. All of them are self policed.
If somebody is being annoying, they soon find out about about it. These
groups all amble along quite happily. Additionally, the "three strikes and
your a out policy" is great for lazy administraotrs, as it avoids them
having to look at any mitegating circumstances. IMOP, all it takes is a
quick corrective post to highlight:
a) Which rule has been brocken.
b) Emabarres the posters.
c) Warn other posters that some sort of ToS do exist
If a poster does reapeatedly are continualy break rules (like DYA used to -
that _was_ continual _&_ repeated rule breaking), then throw the book at
him/her.
I suppose the problem with the LUGNet system is there is no firm procedure
for dealing with rouge posters as far as I know. I think over the last two
days a number of wrongly posted items have been highlighted.... but I'm
sure there may be others out there?
