Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: How do we hold each other accountable?

[Elizabeth Magill (pastorlizm]

I've heard lots of talk about having consequences, but WHAT  
consequences?

I'm opposed to being a "cop" if it means putting people in jail. I  
don't have the strength or power to "make" people do things. (Most  
people are taller than me!)

I'm glad to hold people accountable if there is a consequence I can  
actually enforce.

I've heard of having a fee everyone pays, and that fee is refunded if  
they do a certain amount of work. That makes  sense to me.

Are there any other consequences that have been tried, and work? Or  
any other consequences people have thought about trying?

How about consequences for things other than work-load issues... not  
following policies like smoking or some such?
