All,
A new group lugnet.admin.council has just been created for the consideration,
deliberation, and reconciliation of delicate administrative issues. Examples
include:
- Terms-of-Use transgressions (for example, gratuitous use of profanity,
repeated posting of auction announcements in non-auction groups, posting
information which may violate the rights of others, etc.)
- Recommendations on what to do with "community disruption" issues (for
example, someone is generally making themselves a nuisance but is not
necessarily breaking any hard-line written rules)
- General clarification of community rules and guidelines, with concrete
examples (where possible) of acceptable/unacceptable conduct/content/etc.
For now (and maybe for always) this is a wide-open group where any issue can
be heard and discussed publicly. (Issues or opinions of a more private
nature can and should be kept private in the first place or to email only.)
The overall definition of this group is decidedly fuzzy at this point, so
that it may evolve over time to best suit the community. A couple people
have stepped forward, for example, to volunteer to serve on some sort of
administrative panel/committee/council, so this interest is a first step.
Generally, the basic idea behind the group is (for anyone) to be able to
refer delicate administrative issues to an advisory council for resolution,
and for the council to be able to review and evaluate the effectiveness of
administrative actions and policies.
Those curious about related background or interested in participating may
find useful insights in the following chaotic mix of discussion threads...
