Tentative role of administrator(s) in new board:

1. Rules to be enforced: should be reasonably specific to minimize discretion (leaving less scope for criticism or pressure on the exercise of discretion). Tentative rule: the same as Wordwind proposed in her "moratorium on personal disagreements": posts can be critiqued (politely), but persons cannot.

2. Sanction for violations: should be mild (not so harsh that the administrator(s) will hesitate to apply it) and progressive. Tentative sanction: opportunity to retract; if no retraction, a one-day ban; length of ban increases by one day with each further offense.
