One thing that the Discussion Group Terms & Conditions here lacks is any
predefined list of actions to be taken if someone commits a transgression of
the T&C. Here is a proposal...
This is not active site policy but instead a proposal for a future update
to the T&C... Please comment:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
First offense: Warning by private email, requiring a response of
acknowlegment of receipt. Possibly also a warning publicly if the
transgression is particularly flagrant and has upset others.
Second offense: Suspension of news-posting privileges to the group or
groups in question for not less than one (1) day.
Third offense: Suspension of news-posting privileges to the group or groups
in question for not less ten (10) days.
Fourth offense: Suspension of news-posting privileges to the group or
groups in question for not less than one hundred (100) days.
Fifth offense: Suspension of news-posting privileges to the group or groups
in question for not less than one thousand (1000) days.
and so forth. (And I doubt there would really be any fourth, much less
fifth or sixth, offenses. :-)

The fuzzy parts are of course what is and what is not a transgression, and
what group or groups to bar from if a transgression occurs -- but those are
perennial issues we already face. This just addresses what to do.
Naturally, there would be separate counters for separate general categories
of transgressions (maybe these would be the numbered points in the T&C?).
For example, if someone posted a flagrant auction flog in the .aquazone
group for the third time, they wouldn't get banned from that group for 100
days if they were breaking some other rule for the first time.
It's so simple. I like it. Do you like it?
