List,
It's time the list admins/mods POV is made clear and the actions taken by us here.
We have put Dinesh Joshi on moderation after warning him and Vidya (Please note the lack of qualifier like Mr./Ms. etc). He continued to disregard the warning issued by Anurag and kept writing irrelevant mails in violations of the list guidelines.
As for the Vidya, we consider his/her behavior conceited and creepy. Her "assumption" that she was put on moderation and then unsubscribeing from the list by accusing list admins/mods of moderation does not speak well for her. Even more disgusting behavior is participating in the list discussion by use of "proxies".
In this regard even those proxies and middlemen have acted in violation of the list guidelines by posting non-member mails to the list. Please consider this as warning for these middlemen and proxies. Such behavior in future will attract moderation.
We - list admins and moderators - request again you all list members to abide by the list guidelines and maintain decency and decorum while participating in the discussions.
Please remember that with Freedom comes Responsibility. If you can not be responsible be prepared to loose your freedom. Take your pick.
+1.
Sometimes when we are in a heated flame war, we cannot think straight and we forget that we _could_ be walking into a trap. Off late there appear to be attempts to sabotage this list through perpetual flaming. The sudden spurt of networking site invitations is more than just a co-incidence.
The best way for members to tackle these threats is by keeping a cool head and look at the larger picture and the responsibility on each ones' shoulders to make this GLUG the best one that ever is.
