I haven't worked out all my thoughts on all of this, but I will point out that if nothing else, we need to figure out if Official Warnings, Suspensions, and Bannings are decided in our new 7-day decision making process. Because a week is a long time to wait when people are pissed off about something specific. Maybe that's a good thing, maybe not.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
(f) I thought we were talking about this on Monday?? Does nobody obey Nutty the All-Powerful?!?
But Nutty, on Monday I'll be lying on a beach in Hawaii! Oh, wait, that's actually a point in favor...
You know what I just realized we ought to be doing? We should be naming our Voting Discussion Thread, and opening it up, seeing as we've voted to create it.

I thought that they were excluded from it already.

Huh - I assumed they were included. We're still using consensus as a way to decide whether to warn someone?

Snerk. I was thinking "The Isolation Room" but that wasn't funny, alas.

The problem that I have with the moderator suggestion (aside from what others have already mentioned) is that I feel it’s somewhat premature. We had one problem poster and we handled it in a less than smooth fashion. So, okay, Method A didn’t work. But, with the moderating proposal, I feel like we just skipped to Method E without even considering Methods B, C or D.
Part of why I think the m/S/A situation was so difficult is that it was the first one. There was no existing policy for us to refer to when dealing with him. We had to feel our way through it. In retrospect, I know there are things I wish we’d done differently (like, making mieskie aware of this thread and that he was being discussed).
What if, before going to the moderator option, we tried to create a policy for handling problem posters? I’m not saying it’s going to be the solution but I feel like we need to make the effort before we start talking about empowering posters to be watchdogs.

We have a policy, yes? Once, warn. Twice, suspend. Three times, ban. What we have a problem with is the details of enforcement.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
See, and I thought the Stompies decided, really, whether to warn someone. I mean we can ask all we want, but it is the stompy that types it up.
So obviously we don't really know what we were doing.
I also thought the warning, banning stuff was excluded from the vote because of the poential for public flogging and the time issues.
