X-Message-Number: 28796 From: Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2006 09:27:34 EST Subject: Thanks, Kevin...I think you are handling this well In a message dated 12/28/2006 5:00:53 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, writes: I have added a band-aid to CryoNet, which will help for awhile. When postings from an email address earn a reputation less than a third, the familiar "reputation too low" digest filtering will be applied. When the reputation drops to one fifth, the subject line will be filtered from the digests, too. (You have seen that already in the Wed. Dec. 27 digest.) Furthermore, there is a new "Abuse" rating, which is far worse than any of the others. Expect further measures, as they are needed. Kevin Q. Brown (Include "cryonics" or "CryoNet" in the subject line.) (End Kevin quote, Rudi writing.) Thank you, Kevin. Cryonet has indeed had a bit of low ebb due to a few individuals who have a (hopefully) unique combination of high intelligence, skill sets, and pathological, perhaps criminal, behavior and emotional patterns. A future psych/medical tech may fix them... But for now the best we can do is to stop them from spamming cryonet and ruining this forum. I add my voice to others who have already endorsed your right to protect Cryonet from "serial offenders." This is not censorship, this is an immune response to protect the integrity of the medium. Thanks again for the wonderful job you have done, and are continuing to do, with Cryonet. Happy Holidays to all. Let's plan and work and make 2007 better for all sentient creatures than 2006.
