Taking root access from non participatants
| 
Jun 28 04:50 UTC 2008 |
If you are a non participatant we move to take away your root access.
non participatant as defined as not logging in at least once a week.
We need to take the keys of the kingdom away from the old guard and
let some new blood emerge. We need members with a new vision for Grex.
Unix on a Sun was a novel idea in the late 80s and early 90s but now
anybody can get a Linux or FreeBSD distro and set up a *nix box.
We need to take roo access away from glenda and steve because steve
has acted like a cowboy by turning off new user. Such independant
action by a root should be instantly dealt with by the BOD and if they
refuse to act I say we call for thier resignation. I for one call for
the resignation of Chuck Martin aka: unicorn for incompetance and the
shirking of his responsabilities.

Had newuser not been turned off, it is quite likely that grex itself would
have been: the attacks on grex were getting out of hand. Turning off
newuser was (and, right now, is) the only way to keep the vandals from
coming back.

If we fire all the staff what next?
Is there some way to allow new users at least web interface access?

Anyone can read the conferences anonymously, Sindi. Posting requires logging
in, which requires an account.

I am suggesting finding a way to let new users have accounts but restrict them
to web interface only, so that they cannot vandalize grex (at least not as
easily - it would presumably take longer to litter all the items in agora).
Also perhaps there could be some restriction on the length of a posting by
future users until they have proved themselves sane.

This kind of policy has already been discussed and approved, and is merely
(!) awaiting implementation.
