| Proposed Policy Changes |

I'd like to propose a change in Grex's policy regarding scribbling text and the censored log. I'd like to see the scribble command disabled and simply not be available any longer. I'd like to see everyone get one automatic message explaining this change. For existing users it could be message that greets them for one login only and then not shown again. For newusers it could be in their "orientation" information. There should be no confusion that once text is entered it can't be erased. I'd also suggest that on the day this policy takes effect that the current censored log be removed, as in gone, not simply archived or made unreadable. There is simply too much ongoing confusion about the limitations of scribble and the responsibilities associated with entering text in the conferences. Depending on where this discussion goes I may end up asking it be put to a member vote. Would there be support for these changes?

It seems likely there will be two competing proposals then, since I or someone else is likely to offer a proposal to allow users to withdraw their text.

In order for this proposal to be legally sound all members would have to agree to transfer ownership of their postings to Grex. I recommend that you retain legal counsel to ensure that this is done correctly.
