On 04/19/2022 the redacted passed the Rules as follows (which were effective for the spyware@conference.nuegia.net XMPP MUC from April 19th 2022 until Jun 24th 2022 when they were updated):

R1: You must follow the Network Rules: https://www.nuegia.net/services_draft.xhtml

R2: Discussions about generalized Privacy, Security, Hardware, Software and Society, take place here. Topical relevance is determined by the room as a whole.

R3: Try not to be excessively off topic.

R4: If you have a question, don't ask to ask, just ask.

R5: Do not expect immediate responses for questions, levels of expertise range. Someone may know the answer but may not be online.

R6: When in doubt, RTFM.

R7: Spam that has nothing to do with anything at hand (or goes on for excessive time) is discouraged.

R8: Teasing can seem like bullying and bullying is not teasing. Intention of actions may need to be cleared up.

R9: Politics and Religion can be fun, but sometimes it is a bother, read the room or go to: xmpp:spyware-offtopic@conference.nuegia.net?join

R10: All bans are to be reviewed by the redacted.

R11: Review by the redacted, of any topic including but not limited to bans, is to take place 1 day after a session has been called. Active members of the redacted then vote, and the result is binding unless voted on again. 24 hours must be given for voting to take place, due to differing timezones. Votes can only be held on weekdays.

R12: The redacted will create a system of logging all administrative/moderator actions in a way that is publicly transparent.

On 06/12/2022 user "iSida" was banned by Admin "qorg11".

For Reason: being suspected to be a bot and other spammy behavior.

The ban has not yet been reviewed by the redacted.

On 06/13/2022 it was revealed that the rules were not being followed by some or many Admins/Owners and that multiple users had been banned without review by the redacted.

Also on 06/13/2022 a meeting has been requested for discussion of the Markdown issue on Spyware Watchdog, however a time has not yet been set (previous discussions took place but the result was to have further discussions). The meeting will also likely touch on the aforementioned rule following by admins/owners issue.

A meeting was held on June 23, 2022, at 7:00 GMT to discuss the rules enforced in spyware@conference.nuegia.net XMPP MUC.

Conclusions:

1) Changes to Rules 10 and 12:

» R10: All bans and mutes are to have a method of appeal, and be reviewed by the redacted. Appeal thread: https://forum.i2p.retroimages.net/spyware/spyware-muc---appeals-thread.16 http://us3xsdrhmhk4h3bkuq7ttkp6pocs4726esycpgwtogrpu3nfjj6eroqd.onion/spyware/spyware-muc---appeals-thread.16 http://dq65yxqpp6gcyo53y53eqouijhy7ameqxkcjthkr7wpfusqppxma.b32.i2p/spyware/spyware-muc---appeals-thread.16

» R12: The redacted will maintain a system of logging all administrative/moderator actions in a way that is publicly transparent. One example: https://forum.i2p.retroimages.net/spyware/redacted-resolutions-declarations-log-thread.15 http://us3xsdrhmhk4h3bkuq7ttkp6pocs4726esycpgwtogrpu3nfjj6eroqd.onion/spyware/redacted-resolutions-declarations-log-thread.15 http://dq65yxqpp6gcyo53y53eqouijhy7ameqxkcjthkr7wpfusqppxma.b32.i2p/spyware/spyware/redacted-resolutions-declarations-log-thread.15

2) The rules amendment has been tabled to be voted on

Baobab's rogue moderation "style"/rules thing:

Baobab

Hi! Elda and Tsune posted their moderation style, so I thought I'd do the same (:

My only rule is you don't derail the quality of the chat.

When I ban someone, I contact one of the other owners (e.g. Tsune or Elda).

I only ask admins to do the same when they ban people. (I trust your judgement, otherwise I wouldn't have made you an admin).

If you disagree with a ban, you can contact either Elda, Tsune, or I to lift the ban.

Mistakes are fine, but absusing authority might get you demoted from admin to member.

Current Admins I Appointed apples justwolf encryptedsnowstorm

Past Admins I Appointed Elda Became co-owner Distaza Resigned

Users whom I've banned*

Name Date Banned Status Length Reason

Zunna April, 2020 Outcast Perma Posted CSAM in the chat and acted like an insane person.

Ksenia April, 2020 Member 1 Week Acted like an insane person.

Duion July, 2021 Outcast Perma Monologued a lot and was incoherent.

Rando August, 2021 Outcast Perma Monologued a lot and was incoherent.

Doesn't include ban evasions nor spam related bans

Another conclusion of the June 23rd 2022 meeting was that all Mods/Admins/Owners need to agree to follow and enforce the rules (rules as in the ones passed by the redacted).

On Jun 20th 2022 and Jun 23rd 2022, and possibly also Jun 24th 2022, user "rinet" and their alts were banned by Admin "EncryptedSnowstorm".

The initial ban on the 20th was due to a "good morning" message that mentioned most users being misunderstood as spam.

The ban on 23rd and 24th were due to unknown reasons. An unban was attempted by Owner "metheperson", but was not possible due to an unknown technical issue. They were unbanned by Admin "apples".

This is a banlist of all users as of 27/06/2022. The nicknames are taken from the JIDs, and the links between the JID and the actual nickname are often forgotten.

Today (Jul 8, 2022) rienhardbjorndittor@jabber.de has been banned from the MUC because it's another instance of the well-known 'morph'

Honestly I don't see the point of banning people over and over again, but the owners should consider making the MUC moderated once and for all.
