Re: [ga] GA List Rules - Version 2 Post Limits

["Prophet Partners Inc." <Domains@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Eric,

We'd like to think that everyone participating on the GA list is an adult and can exercise some self restraint. There are two sides to this argument. Strict posting limits can interfere with the flow of discussion and impede progress. OTOH, No posting limits can bring chaos and result in contributors like Sotiris and George unsubscribing from the list. The following would strike a balance.

We'd prefer to have a **recommended** posting limit of 5 messages per person per day, with a strict limit of 10. There are times when a person may legitimately need to respond to multiple comments and/or questions that are directed at them, thereby exceeding the 5 post limit. To avoid wasting people's valuable time, those who do go over the **recommended** posting limit of 5 messages per day should keep the additional messages succinct and **on topic** regarding GA issues. Offenders can be publicly humiliated with a warning by the List Monitor or the Chair on the GA list. Repeat offenders can have their posting privileges suspended. Posting limits would not apply to either the Chair or WG leaders when acting in their respective official capacities.

Sincerely,

  I note one objection with a request to go to 10 posts for the limit.
  Interesting. So I propose;
  Whenever a WG is established using either the main list or sublists the posting limits may be increased by the leader of the working group for that group. They do not have to be increased but they may.

  Fair enough?

    As I am not so succinct and cannot foresee where responses may lead. I would think it may be wise to not limit an "acting officer type" to 5 a day combining the "official posts" with the personal. I would certainly limit the personal as with everyone else.
    I think a chair could do it within the limits but I am not so sure that is good.
