<< <<6. This Temporary Ban will not exceed a period of four weeks.>> I prefer the arrangement Alberto suggested. 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks. I doubt most people will stick around after being banned by mutual list consent 3 times. <snip> <<8. If the offending Member still continues his misbehaviour, he will be sanctioned by a Permanent Ban from the List, but not before the matter is discussed on-list and consensus has been reached.>> To repeat what I said above: I’m fine with this, with one caveat. The offender must be allowed a suitable time (lets say 3 days) to rebut the judgment of the list. I think the Permanent ban should be used only as an absolute last-resort tactic. I also think there should be a ‘the list will not hold their past against them’ stipulation. >> Of course, that LAST line should have been put under number 6, not 8, since if they're permanently banned they really shouldn't care what the rest of the list thinks.
