That having been said, I also would stand by Marc's actions. There should be some way to put a temporary suspension on an email address in the immediate term to stop a barrage of emails as a cooling off mechanism.
I think it's worth acknowledging how thankless a job running a listserv can be and thank Marc for doing it for as long as he has, with very little help, and while being admirably responsive. I've never done that job myself, and don't envy the position.

How Giovanni has tried to go about convincing everyone of that has clearly been counter-productive. His promise to put together a brief note about how to register before Nov. 14 and what it takes to do that - would be very useful information.

I would suggest we have more than one person with the power to ban people from our mailing list. And that those people be charged with doing do according to some predictable and ascertainable policy.

Banning someone from the list is similar enough to banning them from the space, that it seems to me such things entail a collective action by the community rather than an administrative action or unilateral action by e.g. a list admin or someone with keys to the door.

Could this proposed list be more broadly a community marketplace, that
allows people to offer their goods or services specifically to the
sub-section of Sudo folks opt-in interested?
I would imagine that such an exchange would also encourage barter of
goods and services within the community. In the long term, perhaps an
alternative commodity exchange could be supported.
Chris B - are you volunteering to manage the list?

Subject: [!SUDO-INFO!] hosting benefit for legal fund?
To: "info(a)sudoroom.org" <info(a)sudoroom.org>
HI there,
I'm one of the folks organizing support for the two people who are facing
felony charges after the Trayvon Martin demonstrations this summer. We're
looking for venue where we might be able to host a benefit dinner + movie
showing, and somebody mentioned that I should contact the Sudo Room because
they thought you all might be down. Is that something that you all might
be willing to host? We're putting together this effort on pretty short
notice, and we're hoping to have the event on the 15th of this month, but
if that date won't work for you all we'd definitely love to talk about
other dates, too! Thanks very much,
Nevada
Hi,
I've never been to sudo room before, but I've heard great things about it, most recently at the East Bay Anarchist Book Fair and I have some math and programming reference books that I'd love to donate if you're interested in them.
Can anyone let me know if someone is there to let me in right now, or will be within the next hour? If not, can you let me know when would be a good time to drop by?
-Alex
For everyone who has been hearing this talk about getting an LPFM lisence
for sudoroom (which would be absolutely impractical, impossible and
inappropriate) you can stop wasting your time by acknowledging one fact:
the LPFM rules currently require "2nd adjacency" meaning there have to be
at least two empty notches on the radio dial (each odd tenth is a notch)
it is _possible_ to apply for a waiver of 2nd adjacency, but the only way
it is accepted is in extreme circumstances where there just happens to be
overlap in an UNPOPULATED area. This does not apply to the bay area.
If you want to read about it, here's the link:
http://home.recnet.com/lpfm-second
there are zero FM slots in the greater bay area without a 2nd adjacent.
as someone who has helped several LPFM stations get started and stay on
the air, and who personally lobbied the FCC for the Local Community Radio
Act, I can tell you unequivocally that even if there were a frequency open
for sudoroom, we would be very foolish to apply for, let alone accept,
such a thing.
i really don't want to talk about it so please don't reply to me.
thank you
