Hi folks. I’m the other mod that no one except a couple people reeeeeallly hates. I know, y’all tend to forget I’m here, mostly because I get so frustrated that rather than doing what I really think needs to be done, I just take a few hours off.
I just wanted to make a comment on this.
This, right here, this quote, is 100% correct. Look at the pinned thread about approved rules. I mean, actually read it. Here’s a link, in case you don’t know what I mean:
There is a link there to some proposed rules written a couple years ago and a lot of discussion on those, but we’ve never actually officially adopted them.
Now, if you please, take a look at an RFC thread, that I started in accordance with our approved process, about instituting a rule about gimmick accounts, something I’ve seen people from every side of the latest drama bitching about. Stupid me to think that something like this would be uncontroversial. Also stupid of me to think that my request to stay on track and for anyone to offer suggestions on language would actually be honored. As it is, I had to do the rewrite myself. And my post got ignored by people just wanting to fight about other things.
Anyway, please, let’s continue to make more rules about who should be a mod, because as far as I’m concerned, the same issues are going to continue to occur until the mods, whoever they are and however they are elected, have actual guidelines to follow/enforce.
