We have not developed one.

Hopefully there won’t really be a need but if there is, (that is, if someone gets timed out and then sends a note to the admins contesting the decision) we would either look at it again, ad-hoc, or develop one. We presumably (I am speaking just for myself here, didn’t take a poll first) would prefer that this issue not arise. If we got to the point that we needed to give a timeout, and the poster contested it just to be difficult, well that certainly would be a data point, wouldn’t it?

Kelly spoke of the desire to keep matters private, that is, to respect the privacy of the posters rather than publicly flog them any more than necessary. I think that’s my preferred approach too.

If the poster posts to admin.general to complain, they’ve waived that privacy right, and further, that certainly would be an appeal of sorts, wouldn’t it? I think we’ve seen that in the past. I know I’d, in reply, cite the posts where the poster was warned, if any, and the posts where the poster crossed the line, and leave it at that, without being excessively wordy. (If that’s possible. Some might have their doubts)

Hope that helps.

(...) Just out of curiosity, is there any sort of appeal process? For example, if Lar doesn't think that his hypothetical 24-hour Timeout is appropriate, can he request a review of the decision, or is the decision considered to have been reviewed (...)
