List Rules suggestion

["Ralph Bade" <rbade@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Frank,

Although I am a newcomer to this list, may I
suggest the following modification to your list
rules:

Rule number 9.???
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 within a two
year period 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.

The reason---I list the time period is so that we
don't have someone who has a bad day one day get
suspended 3 years down the road just because of
another bad day. We all have bad days sometimes.

Also, with reference to rule number 5:

5. In replies, quote as much of the original
message as necessary to establish the context.
Edit out unnecessary material. Constant re-quoting
of a continuation of a thread results in
unnecessary use of List resources. Continual
violations may result in a 30-day suspension.

The reason---because some of our members receive
the daily digest, it makes it very difficult to
read.

After the rules are approved, perhaps we can get
along with our AMC hobby and leave the who said
what, why, or whatever to the Soap Opera Queens. I
can see a technical opinion and discussion of a
vendor part or services, but the Drama has to end
sometime!

"No insult or implication to anyone intended"
should not have to be contained in or end each
posting. I think we are all adults here.


Regards,
