I think the lessons here are that not all members or NB space users are on this list, and not everyone is honest.<br>
<br>
Until there are lockers with locks, I would probably recommend not storing anything in the space that you actually care about.<br></blockquote><div><br>On the other hand, it's frequently such *weird* things that go. And of course, so much stuff that stays around, defiantly.<br>
<br>My experience is, well, not quite the opposite: I left a fancy-schmancy hat in a public bit of NB by mistake, it walked off, and then I asked around and someone said oh X has it, and I asked for it back, and they returned it. It would have been very different result if there hadn't been someone who happened to be around who had spotted it, and hats weren't something you fairly publicly balance on your head. Neither of the people involved read nb-discuss.<br>
<br>I do think that people don't necessarily know that the membership
shelves are for stuff that you can't hack on, though I'm not saying
that's all of what happens.About the only part I can think of to improve without breaking other things is the level of pan-community communication, but that is also hard. <br><br>I appreciate people talking about this openly: I hope it doesn't make people think that there are constantly people in stripy shirts and masks half-inching the wheels off robots, but i do think we should keep track of when it happens, just in case we see spikes or a change for the worse or better.<br>

I guess "Fool me once, shame on you.. Fool me twice, shame on me" applies.<br>
