Enforcement is too strong of a word, I guess.
This list is not moderated. I am NOT proposing that it be moderated.
It is one of the best behaved and best community moderated lists I have
ever subscribed. I would expect that the members will police themselves
for off-topic-ness and the community will remind or teach about it, just
as we do now.
We have no procedures or policies or desire to create such that have to
do with banning someone or the like. I am also NOT proposing any such
thing. I'd just expect that requests to move to the off topic list will
rise more naturally from the group when someone feels the need to educate.
