đź“ť Original message:To reduce the list noise level, drama level and promote inclusion, my own
personal preference (list admin hat: off, community member hat: on) is for
temporal bans based on temporal circumstances. Default to
pro-forgiveness. Also, focus on disruption of the list as a metric, rather
than focusing on a specific personality.
I do think we're at a bit of a point where we're going around in circles.
Given the current reddit hubbub, a bit of a cooling off period is IMO
advisable before taking any further action.
