Being a mod or admin is intolerable, and this community is at a high risk of dying

Literally this all boils down to a handful of people think they have the right to say whatever they want and treat people however they want and anytime any modding of that abhorrent behavior gets done they throw a month-long fit.

No, it actually boils down to a failed attempt at community moderation where we have no idea how to actually implement it. The rules we have aren’t enforced equitably and don’t envision long running feuds or the level of single-mindedness we’ve seen here. Let’s declare this iteration of the rules of a failure and try something else.

I would handle the lack of rules not by trying to get a bunch of rules passed, but by acting within the guidelines I and PC have laid out. Then documenting every decision in the mod decisions thread, and probably highlighting a few of the decisions and offending posts in another pinned thread. So, two locked pinned threads: a log of the decisions and then a list of specific examples that tend to illustrate the ad hoc rules that have been developed so far.

If the community objects to any of these actions, they can override the moderators’ decision and the moderators should update their moderation to reflect the consensus.
