The problem with sites that are not really able to enforce, can be somewhat mitigated by a weekly posting of offenders in a pulic place within the company halls.
Hi Ron,
I heartily disagree -- if an offense is considered serious enough to warrant being prohibited in an org's Acceptable Use Policy then there should be real punishment involved. If an offense isn't a big deal, then the AUP should be rewritten.
A Wall of Shame just sets a bad precedent -- a user could argue that the rules were ambiguous. "What? You can't fire me for running that root exploit! None of the other rules were ever seriously enforced, our policy is a joke!"
Besides, posting a weekly notice of offenders is essentially the net admins admitting, "Okay, we know who is doing what and we don't like it but we just don't have the power to stop it." What sort of admins really want to put out that message? :)
take care,
Cael
