[ga-abuse] Posting Rights - Six New Mailing Lists

["Patrick Corliss" <patrick@quad.net.au>]

Hi Harald

Looking at your list of past actions I can't quite understand the following;

  Joe Baptista                                Jeff Williams
18 FEB 2000       2 weeks            7 FEB 2000      2 weeks
20 MAR 2000    4 weeks           11 APR 2000     4 weeks
11 JUN 2000       8 weeks          27 MAY 2000    8 weeks
22 AUG 2000    16 weeks          22 AUG 2000   16 weeks
21 DEC 2000     32 weeks          29 MAR 2001    8 weeks

After they were both banned for 16 weeks,  Joe Baptista's punishment doubled
to 32 weeks but Jeff Williams punishment halved to 8 weeks.

Was this to do with their seriousness of the offence?

Elisabeth has advised the procedure to suspend people is as follows;

>  Filtering of a list is always done by myself [Elisabeth]
>  The procedure is:
>      (1) List Monitor writes to ga list (ga-something) and states
>          suspension, duration, reasons w/r/t GA Mailing List rules.
>      (2) List Monitor writes to myself to do it (to be sure I receive
>          the message OUT of the flow of any list)
>  Then I add filtering, and ACK to List Monitor.
>
>  I will not do ANY move without (1).
>  (2) is to be sure I READ it promptly.

However, I understood the procedure was to suspend the person first then
notify them of the decision.  Otherwise then can post something abusive.

As a majority of three list monitors have agreed, I will advise Elisabeth to
suspend Jeff Williams and Joe Baptista from the six new mailing lists.

I'd also ask Harald to confirm that William X. Walsh may have his posting
rights restored from the 2nd of May 2001.

Please note that other determinations are still pending.

Best regards
Patrick Corliss
