A question in the interest of transparency: will you be publicly *documenting* when a person is locked out for a period? I completely understand not calling the person out publicly on the list, but will you keep a record on the wiki or something (I am not so picky on the actual form of documentation) of who in this group voted on locking out a particular user and the specific reason? I know, I know, that is more s*** people need to do, and really do not want to. I ask because I see a need to keep this very transparent to not feed into a user's impression that they are being bounced for thinking differently, not misbehaving (whether or not I agree, I would like to know why). That is all. Regards, _AJS _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
