Unfortunatly, "Lanezeri" is the first to be suspended from these newsgroups
until the 20th of August, under the recent one week suspension rule. It is
in hopes that this one week of suspension from posting will allow him time
to think about his recent actions and derogatory comments towards others
here in the newsgroups, and we look forward to having him back on the 20th
as a productive member of this newsgroup community.

Under the new rules, we have decided upon incremental suspensions. Let me
just break down how suspensions will work, as we think this is the fairest
way to go about tempering some of the more inflamitary nature of individuals
in here.

There is a warning, if the content guidelines are infringed upon in a over
the top manner, if the behaviour continues, the individual will receive a
one week suspension. After that suspension, they are free to post in here
again. On their second warning, if they continue after that, they will be
suspended for two weeks. On a third warning, if they continue after that,
they will be suspended for a month.

A fourth suspension will be permanent.

As you will see, they have six chances to avoid permanent suspension, and it
is in large hopes that this system is fairly looked upon by all of you. I do
read these NG's, but sometimes things slip by us, if there are specific
problems that have not been addressed, please mail me about them and we'll
look into them.

I want to try and help these NG's get back to a good forum in which to
converse about the software, where the debates can be ruled by intelligence
as well as mutual respect, if you cannot respect one another for an
individuals opinions, then there is no point in being here. I'm currently
also looking into a web forum version of these newsgroups, so we can makybe
get a larger cross section of people in here as well, we will see.

Lets see if we can turn this NG into a productive environment, and we will
all look forward to seeing Lanezeri again after his brief time out.

Sounds wonderful so long as it is used against pests, not the occasional insult. Keep the bar kinda low

[View Quote] Thats the aim - it will only be used in the most "pestified" (yeah i know
thats not a word) situations....I think there will be more than enough
warnings to show that it isnt merely heavy handedness - I dont like banning
people to tell the honest truth, but sometimes something must be done as a
punishment, otherwise it will jstu keep going on, and on, and on.....

We'll see how it goes =)

Facter, I would like to know why you have not suspended eep? If you read his
posts you will see for years he has done nothing but drive people away from
these newsgroups. Read the post from Count Dracula stating he will never post
again and you will see an example. Eep has tormented people in all the ng's.
Hope to see you take action with him on his next CR eep y post.

Without Eep what is this NG? You are why -I- torment people.. idiots.. Eep
brings.. what's the word.. excitement to the NG.. he makes it un-boring..
without him it would be full of newbies who didn't know what to do.. at
least he helps them when they fuck up.. he just adds spice to it..

In case you hadn't noticed, earlier this year Fac started quite a crisis over a "vote" to ban Eep. The overall concensus was that
Eep had somthing useful to contribute every once in awhile, and in general serves as a wonderful pest removal system. I'd think Fac
has the smarts not to start that again anytime soon, as it almost split us into two warring sides then, and would likely do the same
now.

Erm, are the warnings sent to the person via email? Because I don't
recall ever seeing you warn Lane here in these NGs...

Also, how is it that Lane was able to reply to this thread? Does the
suspension not go into effect until the next day?

Because Fac is slow? Or maybe he just banned the IP instead of popping his login.

It seems to be done by IP? Or Fac just doesn't have direct access to the server to kill the login.

Im not slow, he was supposed to be banned right after I did that post, I was
there with Tom when we did it - I think perhaps the reject list didnt build
properly or something, I'll fix it in the morning.

Lanezeri, if you continue posting and making a nuisance of yourself, then
you may have your suspension increased.

Dont know, something messed up, and, he was warned in the general group and
then promptly continued his comments, thus, he is being suspended.
