[Web4lib] Subscriber Removal Clarification

[Carol Bean]

Sounds very much like what we do in our library.
 
Thanks for giving it a *library* perspective!

	How does this relate to libraries and the web?  If an individual is
	administratively or legally barred from a university library (my area of
	experience), public or private, and returns to the institution, a blind
	eye will often be turned.  When and if an infraction occurs in this new
	context, however, the deliberative process will usually be quite short
	and to the point.
	
	Individual violated rules.  Individual access denied through process.
	Tolerance allows individual to sneak back in.  Subsequent unacceptable
	behavior will be dealt with swiftly and with no room for doubt that the
	administration means business.
	
	If one had appealed for reinstatement in the intervening time period,
	perhaps the clock gets re-set, perhaps not.
	
	Physical realm <-> cyber realm, the social contract remains the same.
