I
was rudely told that I had been (unjustly) accused off-list
of 'stealing' from someone's porch a broken laptop that I had
inquired about but that had been promised to someone else,
and without any notice or opportunity to respond I had been
summarily banned and was even threatened with police involvement.
I have been banned from a local to me group because "you don't live
here". It is the closest one to me and how they know where I really live
is beyond me. I can't get "un-blacklisted".
Instead I have to go further out.
With a very loose group like freecycle you will always encounter
problems. You think the wonks on this list complain about filtering
mail? I bet a week doesn't go by without someone on one of the freecycle
groups grousing about too much mail, too much noise, how do I get off,
etc...
