[liberationtech] Would you like to put the list under permanent moderation?

[Yosem Companys]

Hey All,

As you might recall, I am one of the moderators of the Liberationtech list.

I recommend that we switch the list from emergency to permanent moderation
to preempt posts that violate list guidelines (see below).

Please cast your vote at https://doodle.com/poll/i5mhkd4qtanwezt8. Voting
closes on Friday, January 10, 2020.

Thanks,
Yosem

The mailing list for the Program on Liberation Technology was originally
started at Stanford University by the world's top scholars in the fields of
technology, democracy, and human rights to research, design, use, and teach
how information and communication technologies could foster positive social
change.

The mailing list -- which has broadened its scope to include any
technology, not just information and communication technologies -- is no
longer affiliated with Stanford University.

Please note the following guidelines:

1. Liberationtech is a public list, so anyone can join and read the
archives, forward messages, or mirror the list without our knowledge. The
list archives are searchable by search engines such as Google. As such, we
urge you to use pseudonyms, fake email addresses, https, and anonymizer
software, especially when discussing items of a sensitive nature. Two
robust applications are here and here.

2. We urge you to use the list to ask for (or offer) advice, discuss
issues, and share information.

3. To maintain civil discourse, we have a zero-tolerance policy for anyone
who posts ad hominems, or otherwise inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic
messages. Doing so will get you permanently moderated.

4. We also have zero-tolerance for any posts proposing illegal behavior.
Doing so will get you permanently banned.

5. All replies go to the entire list, so please keep "me too" replies to a
minimum.

6. We forbid the sending of attachments, as these can be used to spread
viruses or spyware. Instead, copy and paste your attachment into the
message body, or upload and make it a public doc and share the link. For
more info, please see https://tibetaction.net/detach-from-attachments/.

7. SPAM is not allowed, but you're welcome to announce new liberationtech
products and services to the list. Please refrain, however, from doing so
more than once per product and service. (In other words, you're welcome to
keep us informed about product and service updates.) As noted above, you're
also welcome to seek advice or ask for help for your product or service, as
often as you'd like.

8. Persistent guidelines violations will get you permanently moderated.

9. If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or
from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit this page.

10. To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the LT
Archives.
