[New-imc] PROPOSAL V0.04 chuck on approval list DEADLINE Wed 8 Jan 2003 17:00 GMT

I incorporated the concern that this is a "ban" into the duration - if
chuck apologises and promises to stop with the personal attacks, she
would be returned to normal subscriber status.

I don't feel that it was boud's intention to "ban" anyone, however,
chuck was asked to apologise (I feel it was right to ask), nor has
agreed to make no further attacks, nor has changed her attitude.  If
someone, anyone, cannot or will not moderate themselves I believe that
it must become the list moderator's job to do so for them.

The New-IMC list is the first place alot of people start out within the
IMC network.  If their first experience with Indymedia is reading
personal attacks going back and forth, cussing at eachother, etc what
kind of tone will that have for their experience within the network?
Many people would simply walk away at that point, others would adapt to
it.  I have to wonder how my relationship with others on the network
would be better if someone had stepped in and stopped the fighting
between myself and others when I first got involved.

Seriously, let's learn from our mistakes and not repeat them.  
The cycle has to stop, and this is as good a place to do so than any!

It is proposed to put chuck0 <chuck at mutualaid.orgon the
"postings held for approval" list of new-imc:

http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/admin/new-imc
 Configuration Categories
  # Privacy Options  
   Spam-specific posting filters
    Addresses whose postings are always held for approval.

because although she has succeeded in catalysing an interesting
discussion based on her initial request for a housing IMC,

(1) she has made a personal attack on someone and refused to apologise:
http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/public/new-imc/2003-January/004416.html

(2) she has not yet started constructive (or any) discussion on the list
which is most closely related to her request:
http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/public/syndication/

(3) she has not yet created a mailing list on her requested theme, and
it is difficult to see how any non-local collective can be organised
without a mailing list, even if it is a regional + theme-oriented 
collective:
http://lists.indymedia.org/

(4) although interested in homelessness, she has trivialised the
possibility of networking with a major grassroots network of
homeless people in the world's largest democracy who use direct
action in the best Gandhian tradition:
