I'm as much against »this kind of activity« as anybody, but since this *is*
fairly dire and permanent-looking punishment, here are a few thoughts that
occurred to me just now:
- Could you define on this list, for the benefit of long-term list
subscribers, exactly what »this kind of activity« includes?
- Is there still going to be a warning for first-time offenders?
- Will LPI, before actually meting out the punishments listed above,
try to ensure that the offending e-mail has not been forged by
someone else in order to create difficulties for the party in
question? (I would hate it if I had been studying hard for an LPI
exam at the annual big Linux event in my area, and three days before
the actual date some practical joker sends a Boxbe-type message in
my name to the LPI lists, so I get banned etc., and have to wait
at least another year for my crack at the discounted exam, or else
spend extra time and/or money to either travel or take computer-based
testing, for which I won't be able to get a discount voucher, either.)
- Is there some sort of appeals or rehabilitation process? I think it
is not entirely impossible to accidentally engage in »this kind of
activity« (especially if »this kind of activity« is sort-of loosely
defined), and in particular if there is a zero tolerance, sudden
death, one-strike-and-you're-out policy in operation it would be good
if there was some way of clearing one's name and being reinstated into
the good graces of the LPI crowd. (I'm thinking »community service«
here.)
