To tell the truth, especially the first suspension I received is one I would love to publicize. Nothing would make me happier than to repost here, the exact e-mail I received, and for the members to judge for themselves if my suspension was justified or completely ridiculous.
I, of course, would have no valid objection if the mods who gave me that suspension were to give any details that I might have ignored. Where then would be the violation of my privacy?
I see where you are coming from, Dov. Did I ever send you the email Randy sent me suspending me? It's a hoot!
But that's not what this proposal is about. This proposal is about making the day-to-day management of FT more responsive to posters by allowing consistent opportunity for collaborative input.
Inconsistent (and sometimes random) suspension and banning standards are a separate issue for another day. As noted elsewhere, I have some ideas to address that, too. But one thing at a time, and starting with something that imho ought to be a non-controversial no-brainer.
