Here's my theory - for whatever it is worth.

I think that if there were a committee like this - its mere creation would bring
light to the fact that there are listing violations in place. I think that if
listings could be pointed out to a committee who was quick and fair in eliminating
those listings that more people would point them out.

If this idea were to gain some momentum - here are some added points that would
make it even better:

1. When a listing is presented to the committee - conceal the store name. Only
the listing itself would be visible, with the violation presented in the submission
form. This way committee members would not take personal knowledge of a store
or user with them when making decisions.

2. When a listing is taken down - show it in a historical "precedence" forum
so other members can learn from them.

3. Give submitters a limit of 5 failed submissions before they are no longer
allowed to submit violations -- prevent spammers from flooding the committees
time or being too nit-picky.

There are probably thousands of listings currently that should be taken down
for one reason or another, do we really want Admin's time taken up with this
role that could easily be handled by the community. I would rather Admin spend
their time working on the next great improvement that none of us have even though
of yet.

Thanks for considering,
Mike.

Would committees be a good thing for BL?

I suggest a committee of 3 people for Listing violations: Have the problem reports
sent to 3 members (maybe even conceal the store/user name) and let them vote.
2 votes and the listing gets removed.

I'm sure we would be able to find members for a committee of 3 or maybe 5 very
quickly and that decisions on listings would be decided very quickly.

Obviously Admin and/or the CO would be able to appoint/remove those committee
members and Admin and maybe the CO would also be able to overrule them.


Mike.

What problem are you trying to solve here? Is it the amount of time it takes
to get the currently designated person/people to respond to listing complaints?
If so, why does it need to be a committee? The listing rules are pretty cut and
dried and the form is fairly self-explanatory. I know because I just submitted
a stack of them against someone who is polluting several catalog parts with a
bunch of custom items.
