I think that bans should be made public --- as in: there exists a public web page where bans currently in effect are listed. It does not follow from that that listmasters should mail some public list each time that page is updated. In fact, I do think that sending announcements about new/changed bans is a bad idea, that it reinforces the drawbacks of publishing bans, and that it gives us nothing in terms of additional transparency. Ideally, the maintenance of that page could be fully automated, on top of the tools you already use to manage bans. Hope this clarifies, Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli . . . . . . . zack@upsilon.cc . . . . o . . . o . o Maître de conférences . . . . . http://upsilon.cc/zack . . . o . . . o o Former Debian Project Leader . . @zack on identi.ca . . o o o . . . o . « the first rule of tautology club is the first rule of tautology club »
