My personal preference would have been to establish general rules by discussion and vote on CCC. E.g. Ed Schroeder made some reasonable proposals towards handling "resocilization" of CCC members that had to be asked to leave at some time, this could have been a good starting point to let the CCC members vote upon. Of course, this still can be done without involving Tueschen's reinstatement ... May I ask a last question (just out of plain curiosity): When does your current term as moderators end? It must have been stated months ago somewhere but I'm too lazy to dig it up myself, so I think I might well ask you (hopefully without offending you, it's really only my bad memory ...). Moritz
