The problem with this system is, IMO, not the quota, but the 'soft' part. There is obviously a thin line between not wanting to break the discussion and allowing it to be hijacked. If a quota system is needed (as opposed to considering the moderators "benevolent dictators" that can use moderation whenever needed), may I suggest we keep the current quota and add an additional per-thread soft quota of 1 message/day and a hard quota of 2 messages per day? "Hard quota" would mean being put on moderation *immediately* after sending the 3rd message, for increasing periods, just like blocks on wiki. I think this would further limit the ability of target users to hijack threads, while discouraging other types of disrupting posting, such as bikeshedding or back-and-forth exchanges between a couple of users. The soft limit would also discourage one-liners and encourage to-the-point emails considering all the points expressed so far. > -- > > Proposal #2: Posts by globally banned people not permitted Definitely agree. > -- > > Proposal #3: Identity of an account locked / blocked / banned by two > Wikimedia communities limited to five (5) posts per month > Agree in principle, but with the same note as on Proposal #4 > -- > > Proposal #4: Undisclosed alternative identities limited to five (5) > posts per month > This is a risky proposal and I would not support it without further data to justify it. List maintainers should not become checkusers or do real-life police work.
