Hi Austin,
My wording was carefully chosen, but probably not obvious enough. I
used "working practices on lists", I was not actually referring to
*this* list where working practices are now, in my opinion, better
than many others.
In fact, it would be great if you could spend time on the meta page
previously linked, suggesting what good practices you use here that
might help run other lists in a more mellow fashion.
Thanks,
Fae

Current working practices on lists include never

it happened and never getting a reply to a polite request of why the
moderation is in place, along with there being no possibility of
appeal or timely review. More complex issues, such as moderators
taking action on participants with whom they are actively involved in
disputes, are not covered by any current guideline.
I do have to dispute this. While I did not explicitly say "I have set
your moderation bit," and in retrospect should have, I believe that
there's a fairly obvious conclusion to be drawn when a list
administrator tells you that your behavior is unacceptable and your
next message is not immediately posted.
What I take the most issue with is that, contrary to what John has
said, I did not receive a single request—polite or otherwise—from
Tomasz directly, or (so far as gmail's search function can determine)
any inquiry at all regarding moderation prior to John's e-mail to the
list.
The matter was clarified within minutes of it being brought to my
attention. I don't know what, if not that, constitutes "timely review"
for you, Fae.
Austin
