I have some questions and comments on the above:
- Is the above sequence to be followed when someone posts or causes to be
posted an individuals personal information (such as address - see the VLC
meeting location incident for an example)?
- Are you sure you want to force public posting of all the reasoning? Are you
going to in some cases force someone to skip the above sequence and go
straight to the courts and ask for a gag order?
- I would STRONGLY reccomend getting a lawyer involved in examining these
policies. I think you may be setting yourself up for a problem. Note that
Lugnet is not a public resource like RTL.
- What is a "reasonable" amount of time? I would argue that for many things, a
"reasonable" amount of time does not allow the above sequence to be followed
given the speed at which information can propagate electronically.
Just some thoughts of mine.
