[ga-rules] Sheriff or Marshall or Mentor

[Eric Dierker <eric@hi-tek.com>]

Too many have *voted to scrap the rules and monitors all together* so I
came up with a compromise with real beneficial promise.

If you combine the following definitions and then use them with Joanna's
recent post regarding my suspension you come up with a great way to
monitor - MENTOR.  If a poster gets two complaints within ten days he
gets assigned a monitor mentor.  He still gets to post to the GA-FULL
but for the main lists he goes through one of the Monitors, mutually
agreeable of course. This lasts 48 hours and instead of hurting
communication actually fosters it and builds relationships and
understanding while not ever really censoring.  One thing I have learned
is they really do not like being a prosecutor judge and jury, I think
they would all rather help the condemned individual.



                    Sheriff;
                    from Old English scIrgerEfa,
                     from scIr shire + gerEfa reeve -- more at SHIRE,

                     of the courts and perform various duties similar to
those of a sheriff (2)

duties c : the administrative
                     head of a city police department or fire department


                    Mentor
                     Etymology: Latin, from Greek MentOr
                     1 capitalized : a friend of Odysseus entrusted with
the education of
                     Odysseus' son Telemachus

                     - menˇtorˇship  /-"ship/ noun


How can we go wrong with this? Of course a newbie could sign up also,
think of the new outreach and education potential, let us turn our
monitor/word cops into guides and counselors and coaches.

Sincerely,
Eric
