>Hi Ron,
I absolutely agree that rules should be directly stated in one place such as the FAQ or perhaps even a section entitled "rules of the site". However, I'm not sure I agree that Larry's posts did not harrass anyone. I think Emmy did feel harrassed, or I doubt she would have said a word. And she asked for assistance multiple times before any resolution. Whether that meets some standard of what harrassment consists of or not, I do not know. But I think Emmy's feelings and the fact that she did ask Lar not to post should count for something.I also do not think Lar intended to harrass Emmy or anyone else, and I agree with everyone else that six weeks is too long for the alleged infraction, especially if it was an infraction of a poorly specified rule.
Perhaps a system of block length based on the infraction would be appropriate.
