Re: LIST MODERATION RULES

Actually, I thought of one more change: 
" Subscribers who violate these policies will receive one warning. The
second infraction will get you kicked off the list."

It seems to draconian to say one warning then that's it. I suggest this
instead:

Subscribers who violate these policies will receive a warning. Failure
to comply with warnings will result in a 30 day suspension from the
list. Violations after a 30 day suspension will result in a minimum six
month ban from the list. Access will be reinstated only after a written
request is received and actions reviewed by the moderation group.
Reinstatement will be decided by a majority vote of the group.

======================

I'd suggest a further tweak on this, as follows-

"Subscribers who violate these policies will receive ONE warning. A
SECOND infraction will result in a 30 day suspension from the list.
Further violations after a 30 day suspension (and within six months of
any previous infraction(s)) will result in a six month ban from the
list. Access will be reinstated only after a written request is received
and actions reviewed by the moderation group. Reinstatement will be
decided by a simple majority vote of the moderation group. Six months of
active member status with no infractions wipes all prior violations
clean."

This would allow for a 'clean slate' to be earned after 6 months of
behavior.
It would be rather mean to hit someone with a second ban if they've
behaved 
for a year or two since the last mistake, then they goof up once, again.
Just a thought.

Further, if it's any help at all, I'd be glad to assist in the
moderation
work, as the group might see fit. Just LMK your needs.
