Emergency actions for egregious postings #51

Closed becarpenter closed 5 hours ago

becarpenter commented 1 week ago

I think we should explicitly authorise a few people to take emergency action when a completely unacceptable posting is made (illegal, vulgar, or manifestly harassing). For example, the IETF Chair, the Exec Dir, and maybe a couple of backups, could instruct staff to delete a given message and/or block a given poster, subject to follow-up within 48 hours by the moderation team or to referral to the Ombudsteam.

(I think the staff already have discretion to delete manifest spam, but I'm not sure where that is written down.)

Agree. But we also need to handle the case where a participation channel gets DoS'ed.

Yes, staff must be able to respond immediately to DoS without any delay.

larseggert commented 6 days ago

Based on experience, staff will very often want sign-off from leadership or the community.

becarpenter commented 5 days ago

Yes, that makes sense, but we need language that allows for true emergencies,
