Re: Forum and list management

["Chris Travers" <..hidden..>]

I would ask two things:
1)  How should we react to someone  who behaves the way the
good Nigerian doctor from the SQL-Ledger list behaves?  Obviously
we want to ban him (I won't go into why I think Dieter allows him to
post).
2)  How do we do this in a way that is sufficiently transparent to
avoid the mistakes of the past with SQL-Ledger?  I.e. our initial
security disclosure was deleted from the archives because Dieter
thought it was inconsiderate.

Ideally, banning someone from  list ought to be a serious
matter.  Removing posts ought to be done carefully and with some
agreement among the moderators.    I don't mind having
the Ubuntu code of conduct, but it will be helpful if there was also a
strong commitment to transparency on the part of the moderators.

Best Wishes,
Chris Travers

Flames should be removed. People who flame, should be warned. If they do
not heed the warning, they should be banned from the lists.

This should be a civil list at all times. I would strongly suggest we
adopt the Ubuntu code of conduct for the *entire* project.
