Hi Kelly,

“LUGNET reserves the right to cancel
messages which not comply with the terms above.” Can you elaborate on how
and when a given message would be cancelled?

Either I’m stumbling over for myself, or somebody is sending an email or there’s
a request in lugnet.admin. These are possibilities. Others, like just posting a
reply to a message in question and keeping it within
lugnet.subgroup.sidestreet.leftmosthouse.basement isn’t a good idea. But I don’t
intend to install some kind of central counter to snitch on others.
On the other hand: Maybe such a “counter” (could be a simple form or a link at
the bottom of each message) isn’t a bad idea? Probably it could prevent upcoming
controversies in the groups. To tell people (and to anchor it within the ToU)
not to accuse somebody in the groups for violating the ToU but to use the
“official channel”? FUT .admin.suggestions

What criteria would you use to determine if a
post should be deleted?

Common sense.
But of course, often there are gray areas or completely different points of
view. Since I will not take somebody’s site in such discussions by expressing my
personal opinion, I would just point to the ToU and to the specific passage(s)
and that’s it. General, I hope I don’t have to use the “Cancel”-button too
often, also I’m not looking around pushy and with eagle eyes, I’m not going
hunting. Decent advice and polite requests should achieve their purpose, we’re
AFOLs in the end.

Also, do you plan on using the “murfling”
capabilities Todd added?
|
Probably not or at least very rarely. I wouldn’t know for what. Either something
is against the ToU and to such an extend off the mark that it should be
canceled, or it is not.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts,
Rene

| (...) Hello Rene, The new ToU does seem more clear and concise, although there is one area that I think could use some clarification. At the bottom of the T&C block is the new (and IMO much-needed) sentence: "LUGNET reserves the right to cancel (...) (18 years ago, 18-Sep-06, to lugnet.admin.terms, FTX)
