Let me make sure I understand correctly here. Since this is a
collaborative project because we all agree on certain things, then we
must agree on the disciplinary process?
I can't decide if this is a fallacy of composition (the bricks used to
make the building are rectangles, therefore the building must be a
rectangle), or begging the question. Please clarify this for me, folks
;-}

I am afraid we'll have to improvish and come up with a new fallacy; "the
fallacy of big words". It is theoretically possible that we'll have to
scold or kick out of the forum a potential disruptive prick who spoils
the games at some time in the future (never happened as far as I know).
But there is no need that said prick must have subscribed to anything.
He can be scolded or kicked out anyway.
As long as it is a technicality, a well-thought procedure for doing just
that safely and effectively, there is no problem.
A practical problem is... what would you all say if you go to an online
forum and one of the first things you hear is: "Here are the virtues,
here are the sins, and look... if you don't behave you will be
disciplined or kicked out." Depends on who you are. Some will say "Oh,
ok. I want so badly to be a member of this cool community I just clicked
on..." Others will scowl and click on something else. Can you do a quick
psychological profile of the two kinds of persons? Perhaps a guess at
their credentials too? The first case is the ones we are going to get.
My opinion: Keep it a technicality, not a policy. We don't want the URL
to appear in other sites as a "no comment" joke link.
