Sorry, that was rhetoric. LUGNET is not infinite so there never has been an
"endless" one. But there have been lots of interminable ones, don't you agree?

I think that is irrelevant here so I will not agree or disagree.

Why not?

It was my point, that without someone saying "We've listened, we've considered
it carefully, we worked our process and we worked our review process, and we
don't at this time see a need to change this particular reviewing action, and
further repetition of the same information isn't going to change our mind" (hows
that for a wording) these discussions of reviewing actions HAVE gone on
interminably.

So I think you should either agree, disagree, explain why it's not relevant, or
concede that you're quibbling. (did I leave any choices out?)

That's all fine, given that the ToU says "reason X will result in a timeout of
48 hours".

I'm not seeing that the ToU does say that, nor should it.

However, I doubt the ToU will ever cover every possible reason for
timeout, and a corresponding duration. There will be timeouts given which are
not covered *specifically* by the ToU, and people do not agree with, there must
be seen to be an avenue for people to give their opinion and have it considered.

Within reason, sure, but not interminably. At some point if no new information
is being added, why go on?

OK let me put it another way, if it's worth creating a P&P doc, it's worth
assuring the users they will be listened to.

Totally agree with that. We do listen and we want people to know we listen. But
how often do we need to remind people of that? Every time an admin says
*anything*? Man that would make for wordy posts!
