I think it is very difficult to have hard 'rules'. The guidelines have
been published and are referred to in the footer of each messages sent
from this list.....
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines
I have added a link to these to the list info page at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l and will transfer it to the
list info page if there is no objection.
Regards, Richard.

Hi,
I would like to propose that this list have a published process for
post moderation, banning and appeals. Perhaps a page on meta would be
a good way to propose and discuss a policy? I would be happy to kick
off a draft.
This list has a defined scope at
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l> which
explains who the 3 list admins are, but no more than that. There is no
system of appeals, no expected time limits on bans or moderation, nor
an explanation of the 30 posts per month "behavioural norm" that
sometimes applies to this list. Neither is there any explanation of
what is expected of list admins, such as whether there is an
obligation to explain to someone who finds themselves subject to
moderation or a ban, as to why this has happened and what they ought
to do in order to become un-banned or un-moderated.
I believe this would help list users better understand what is
expected of them when they post here and it may give an opportunity to
review the transparency of list administration, such as the option of
publishing a list of active moderated accounts and possibly a list of
indefinitely banned accounts where these were for behaviour on the
list (as opposed to content-free spamming etc.)
I see no down side to explaining policy as openly as possible. Thoughts?
