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.

And that's six less months we have to put up with him. If Lane is such a
nice guy, then why does he insist on being such a prick here in the NGs?
I hate stupidity as much as the next guy, but lashing out at anyone
who posts does nothing to cure stupidity, it only adds to it. Be sure to
inform your friend that stupidity such as his won't be tolerated by
Facter, or by anyone else here.
