1. Now that we have control of subscriptions I think I might say that I think
off topic posts should be completely eliminated. I know this won't be popular
but it's the only way that we can totally bang any flames on the head
immediately.
2. I also think this should mean that an individual should be able to be
forcefully unsubscribed if they breach this rule 3 times in a week.
3. Decisions on unsubscribing someone should be made by a disciplinary team
of
three. The OM trinity if you would. I have nominated to be on this panel and
two others would need to apply. Maybe these can be rotating positions. I'm
happy to do it forever as long as I am subscribed to the list, so maybe the
other two can rotate.
4. Introduction of a new beginners list. Newbies should be thoroughly vetted
on this new list for a period of 18 months before they can join the older
elite list. I for one don't like sharing the same space with people who ask
annoying questions we've answered for the umpteenth time.
And yes I am glad that the list is closed to spammers and outsiders who have
no interest in Olympus OM. Bye bye Snow White and long live the democratic
principles on which this list is based.
If these suggestions are adopted, the "democratic principles on which this
list is based" are history. I doubt I would continue to subscribe.
