A meta-question: I am wondering whether, if one thinks
a user on this list
should be moderated, it is better to discuss it privately with the list
admins (who, if convinced, could announce the moderation publicly, or not),
or publicly on this list (explicitly inviting more opinions, being
transparent about my position regarding moderating the user, but also
embarrassing the user whatever the outcome).
Thoughts?
my preference would be to try to follow wiki rules&norms relatively
closely. I perceive moderation as a technical result of norms that are
agreed upon, and I don't think we have those for the list, frankly :)
that's why different behaviors may trigger moderation, and result in a
perceived unjustice/arbitrary application.
