3.3 I messed up and got put on hand moderation or the black list. How do I get off? (alt.tv.x-files.analysis)
This may sound horribly legalistic -- it's not meant to be, it's so that
people don't get surprised.
My current plan for who goes on the blacklist (auto-rejection) is A)
people forging approvals B) people posting ads (for ex, 'blizzrd' and his
shills to try to get click throughs for Cybernetic Outpost) and C) being
an extremely, extremely abusive poster: newsgroup bombing, death threats,
et cetera. The only circumstance in which I can imagine 'real' posters
getting black listed is D) being on hand moderated status and mailbombing
the moderators with multiple submission of one article (or say, fifty
separate ones in a day). People in classes A and B will be blacklisted
until they explain themselves to atxfa-contact@burchard.org; second
offenses will result in permanent lockout in most cases. Class C I reserve
the right for permanent lockout on first offense. Class D will get an
escalating series of blocks: one month, two months, four months, not to
exceed six months without review.
Since I expect that most people in hand moderation will be there not
because of malice but because they forget to edit crossposts when going
off topic, it's going to be pretty easy to get off the hand moderated
list; there will be an escalating series of time periods on hand
moderation: one week without charter violations and you are off hand
moderation, two weeks for the next series of incidents, then one month,
two months, four months, the period never to exceed six months without
review. If you feel it is a mistake that you are on hand moderation,
write atxfa-contact@burchard.org.
