I wonder if victor and jengod gave up Stomping because they didn't want to have to make the decision,
It was entirely for personal reasons.

She is not following our guidelines of etiquette, but no one wants to be accused of breaching etiquette by calling for a warning. If we had a way of anonymously (or visible only to admins) marking the posts we thought were breaching etiquette, and a rule was established about how many votes/posts warranted a warning, *then* the rule would "enforce itself".
I think if you want a LiveJournal post to be private, you should mark it that way.
Isn't that what a "group protected post" is?

Now there's a born stompy. I was on it before I read your post, but I think you're the one who got it.
Right. And either she won't because she enjoys causing trouble or she can't because something is amiss.
Do we want someone who enjoys causing trouble to be a part of the community?
It can be irritating, but I can't see what good a warning would do in either case.
Because it's the first step. And because it's a fair start. If she isn't warned then she has no way of knowing the extent to which her behavior irritates.
If nothing is done, then it's a bit of a smack in the face of people who are upset and feeling irritated and feeling like this person is being deliberately rude and upsetting (note: I'm not one of these people. I just don't like to see the community turmoil her posts can cause). If we don't say anything to this poster, how can we justifiably say anything in the future to other posters who are strange, off putting and unwilling to be part of the community?
I'm not on anybody's friends list, and I've read LJ about this. I don't know if Connie was bringing up a private discussion or not.
A system similiar to this was discussed and decided against.
Oh. So how was it left, then? That people had to come in and request a warning? Because I think what Kat and others are saying is that maybe we need a better way of inititating the process.
(Feel free to correct me if I am erroneously speaking for anyone.)
Nou---"group protected posts" that you referenced, that means those Livejournal posts were marked private.
The point of the warning would be that we are following established community standards. What is the point of having rules if we don't enforce them? And even if Zoe behaves this way because she is somehow incapable of adhering to CS, that doesn't mean she gets to violate CS with impugnity.
No the ranking of posts so someone is automatically banned, the Buffistas decided against a system that would rank or rate users like that.
