[ga] List Rules / Standing

[Hugh Dierker <hdierker2204@xxxxxxxxx>]

Standing is a commonly used principle. It occurs anywhere, from returning a purchased item to a Supreme Court decision. You must fall into a certain category to complain or take advantage of a benefit. It is not restricted to courts, it is invoked in soccer clubs to ballet troupes to Homeowners Associations.
   
  Here, I think the moderators should follow the concept and critically asses if any complaining party has a general standing. It would seem it would pretty much have to be the person injured to bring a complaint. With that said exceeding posting limits and being generally disruptive would seem to harm everyone. Dissuading others from joining, participating or voting, is very bad. Think of it as one voice censoring others through  intimidation of overly obnoxious behavior. Elected officials should take care to complain in such cases where the victim is silent.
   
  If you have thoughts on this and how it may be incorporated into the rules, please express them.
