I’d like to see some kind of series of fines added to the offending member’s dues for that month.
For example: A flat fine/fee of $30.00 for the first offense. Second offense is $60.00. Third offense is $90.00. 4th offense you’re designated as a habitual problem and your membership privileges are suspended for (at least) 30 days. Fines/fees go to the committee where the offenses occurred. Evidence would be the video, which would be reviewed/evaluated by a group/committee and a verdict delivered. Refuse to pay the fine/fee and your membership is suspended until you do. Late fines/fees could be added.
Deliberate theft is an another issue.
Some are eager to drop the ban hammer. If the ban is from a committee area only, someone(s) has to make sure that member honors the ban and stays out of the committee area. A fine/fee system takes care of this and adds another method of discipline to the system. Yes, it adds another layer to the “bureaucracy” of DMS. Currently the only disciplinary action Chairs and the BoD have is to ban someone. It may be time to look into expanding the options.
Darn growing pains - take 2.
