Dear All,<div><br></div><div>The reprimand was to serve as a warning to those who posted and also to those who are participating and is based on the nature of the derogatory comments/attacks that were made.</div><div><br>
</div><div>There are participants on this list who have received numerous warnings in private from me on occasion and the matter was sorted/settled.</div><div><br></div><div>The nature of the derogatory attack was too vulgar that it required a public remand so that a clear message is sent to the list on how to conduct oneself on the list. </div>

Failure to abide by posting rules may result in suspension or removal from the IGC list according to the following process:</p><p style="vertical-align:baseline;line-height:12px;color:rgb(61,61,61);font-size:12px;font-family:Arial,FreeSans,sans-serif;margin:14px 0px;border:0px;padding:0px">
The coordinators will first warn a subscriber privately of the problem<br> If the problem persists the coordinators will notify the subscriber publicly on the list of impending suspension from the list. Suspension will include only posting rights.<br>
If the problem persists the subscriber's posting rights will be suspended for one (1) month.<br> Once the subscriber's posting rights are restored, any further problem will result in another public warning.<br>
If the problem continues to persist after suspension and a second public warning, the coordinators will be permitted to either suspend the posting rights for three (3) months or to remove the subscriber from the list.<br>
Any decision for suspension can be appealed. Any decision to remove someone from the list will call for an automatic appeal by the appeals team.</p></div></div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5">-- <br>Cheers,<br><br>
