I was going for something a little different with using "shit list," instead of "list of members who have broken the rules and been punished for it and the minium details thereof." If you have a better name, let me know.
As you can see, it's off the links list now. It's still on the page summary, of course, because there haven't been enough entires since to move it down the page.
I'm not focused on the shit list. I'm focused on keeping people from being rude. Wank happens; it's a part of fandom. If we set up rules to punish the people who instigate it, it'll be less likely to happen (I mean, that's why there are laws right? And, of course, to punish offenders and maintain order). I don't think I'm wrong in letting people know there are going to be consequences for rudeness.
This is community where a wide range of interests is (hopefully) going to be displayed, and not everyone is tolerant of opposing viewpoints--we wouldn't have wank and shipwars and the like if all people were nice and tolerant of others. I want to try to make sure no one is offended, and, if someone is offended, I want them to know it won't go unpunished. And, so far, nothing like that has happened.
The reason I wanted the shit list easily accessible was because the shit list also includes information on when a shit-listing is going to be lifted. (Check here for the specifics.) I think people should have access to that in order know when their probation is up. It's only fair to give them that knowledge. I wasn't trying to be all obnoxious and wanky with it.
And, I'm not trying to be rude, but did you read through the rules of the comm before joining? Because it explains what the shit list is and what sort of behaviors warrant being put on it.
