By moderation you mean penalization, in the form of some censorship as people |
| 14 |
are restricted from various things, be in IRC channel, mailing list, etc. |

I have factually pointed out time and time again that Comrel never follows |
| 17 |
their own procedures and jumps immediately to penalization rather than any |
| 18 |
warning or attempt to resolve/mediate. |

Which as I have stated, one should not have to appeal and entity not following |
| 21 |
procedures. If an entity is not following procedures, another should be taking |
| 22 |
action to correct that. If there was any oversight others would be aware. At |
| 23 |
this time they are only aware during an appeal. Which appeals seem very few |
| 24 |
and far between for a variety of reasons. |

| 26 |
If Council delegated authority to Comrel, and Comrel is not following |
| 27 |
procedures. Council should act on their own to ensure Comrel follows |
| 28 |
procedures. Not requiring people to appeal, because Council passed on blind |
| 29 |
authority and autonomy. |
