[Sussex] List Policy (Removal of submissions)

[Stephen Williams]

Steve,

Unless there is some good reason to delete the posts - I would consider
posts that might constitute libel, that might cause harassment, alarm or
distress, that might be discriminatory or that might cause harm to the
poster as being sufficient - that posts made should remain. I do not
consider mild embarrassment to, or revelation of technical deficiency
of, the poster as sufficient reason to remove posts.

You could form a small group, (say 3) of SLUG members to consider each
case.
