[ga-abuse] Suspension: Andy Gardner, 2 weeks

[Alexander Svensson <alexander@svensson.de>]

Hello Glen,

could you please remove the ga@dnso.org posting rights 
for Mr Andy Gardner at <andy@navigator.co.nz> for the 
duration of two weeks and tell me when the suspension has 
been implemented? I will then announce the suspension
on the list.

Thanks and best regards,
/// Alexander

The posting rights of Andy Gardner have been temporarily
suspended because of violations of the GA list rules.

>- The messages must observe a minimum of decorum, including:
>  - Not indulging in personal attacks, insults or slander
>  - Not using offensive language
(from http://www.dnso.org/dnso/notes/2000.GA-ga-rules.html)

The posting by Andy Gardner
(http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/ga/Arc10/msg03629.html) contains
both personal attacks ("FUCK YOU, JOE SIMS") and offensive 
language ("to butt-fuck ICANN and the entire Internet community.").

Andy Gardner had already received a warning for a message
containing offensive personal attacks ("YOU ARE SO FULL OF SHIT, YOU 
SMELL FUNNY." -- http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/ga/Arc10/msg02719.html)

>A list monitor may impose 2 sanctions against offenders:
>
>- Monitoring of posts. This will cause delay of postings from the affected 
>  individual until a list moderator approves them as being within the content 
>  rules, or rejects them
>- Suspension of posting rights. This will cause mail from that person not to be
>  sent to the GA list.
>
>Both sanctions are imposed for a limited period of time (typically 2 weeks), 
>and are announced on the mailing list. Repeat offenders may get correspondingly 
>longer sentences (for instance 4 weeks for a second offense, 8 weeks for a third).
>The period is decided by the list monitor.

A year ago, Andy Gardner had already received a warning for
coarse, derogatory language. His posting rights have not been 
suspended before, therefore his suspension lasts two weeks.
