[wlug_org] Dealing with rule breakers

The below sounds good to be, however I think the subscription system needs
some changing.

When someone joins the mail WellyLUG list, they should also be automatically
joined to the Org and Trade lists. I personally would have posted my message
to the "Trade List" if I had remembered that the Trade List existed (IE: it
needs to be advertised more - maybe in the monthly "guidelines" email).

If the new member doesn't wish to belong to the Org and Trade lists, they
can either email yourself or Jeremy to get themselves removed, or manually
unsubscribe themselves.

These are some ideas for the assembled masses to think / discuss / reject.

Regards

Michael

hi all,

this event has highlighed a lack of system for processing rule breakers.
We need some sort of process in place to deal with people, in the event that
they keep breaking the rules.

What I suggest for starters, is that when there is an advert posted, either
Me, Jeremy or Ewen will post a friendly notification message of our no
advertising policy. This will ideally prevent "annoyed" people from emailing
in with their own response.

Then, if the person is a repeat offender, we can talk to them off list, and
in the event that they keep failing to learn their lesson, we could look at
de-listing them.


Here's a proposal:

1st offense)	Friendly reminder of no advertising posted to the list

2nd offense)	Friendly reminder of no advertising posted to the list 
		AND a warning posted off-list

3rd offense)	Friendly reminder of no advertising posted to the list
		AND a final warning posted off-list

4th offense)	Friendly reminder of no advertising posted to the list
		AND  The offender is de-listed
		AND  The offender is given an email explaining why they
			were de-listed.
		AND  The org group is informed.


does this sound okay?


cheers,
