[Imc-web] Web Meeting Notes, Feb. 7, 2005

[Mike Lehman]

Attending: Clint, Mike

Mike brought Clint up to date on current interpretation and application 
of website editing policy. Discussion centered on possible means to 
address some of the problems with Dada that can give a troll the 
illusion that they are gaining attention when they've been prohibted 
from further using UC IMC.

Although it is uncertain if all the issues can be addressed in the 
software, the follwing are things that will looked into:

1. Setting up a private, non-publicly archived email list for Web group 
issues that require confidental, non-public discussion when it has been 
demonstrated that abusive posters are exploiting our generally open 
structure to what they believe is their advantage. This list will not 
replace the current Web list, which will continue to be used for all 
routine editing issues. [Zach, can you do this? Maybe call it 
IMC-Webeditor? Then I will implement it with an invitation to subscribe.]

2. The following page should be taken out of public view so that it does 
not encourage continued abusive posting by prohibited users:
http://www.ucimc.org/newswire/deleted/index.php

3. Clint will look into hacking/updating Dada for several reasons, but 
with the hope that it will solve some website editing issues that arose 
in connection with the "Jack Ryan" phenomenon.
