Many of us have been warned and stopped the activity that prompted the warning. Permament bannishment of you would not be fine. This is what I'm talking about. > feels that there are presently too many rules, and > too high an "S", and not enough "N", then they'll > presumably "vote with their feet" (or cause the rules > to become more relaxed.) No one is saying lower the S and raise the N. In fact I was saying the opposite. Removal of the clue-heavy is lowering the S in concert with the warnings which lower the N. Simple math tells us that the overall effect isn't to increase the S/N ratio.

At least people will not : be as upset when they are suspended and know its just : a period for them to calm down and do more reading of : nanog then posting. This is a good idea for the N crowd ;-) for some measure of N. However it doesn't fit folks like randy and Paul. randy almost always keeps his posts short (to the point of too short) and on topic. (I keep referencing these two because they're the only ones I'm aware of. I'm absolutely sure there're more). I ask that the methodology of bannishment be posted to the list, so we're all aware of the consequences of too much OT. Is it permanent banishment or a procedure similar to the one that William suggests? How many warnings get one banished? Is it a certain number of warnings over a time period or for all time? Are the rules set in stone or do they change with time to adapt to the situation at hand? I ask this because I, like many others, value this list's information greatly and don't want to see those that I've learned so much from over the years have to go elsewhere. Thank You. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Meet the all-new My Yahoo! - Try it today! http://my.yahoo.com
