I love that we now have a built in advocate for anyone accused of something. That’s pretty neat. We effectively have a sort of prosecutor vs defense dynamic and that’s long overdue, I think. Good change.


Thank you all for stepping up to do a difficult and often thankless job.
 
Thanks y'all for your well-wishes, and the opportunity to serve in this role! ❤️

I wanted to add something about this comment, as it came up in another conversation this week. I really hope that people won't see this quite so much as "prosecutor vs. defense," more like how situations are approached in a new way. One, as stated, the Chair/Seat won't be utilized for everything. To my mind, one role checks with the rulebook; the other role checks with the person/persons/folx, etc. And then come together to evaluate each situation on a case by case basis. I really hope it works!
 
Thank you for clarifying that, Jahily, I had interpreted it more as a "defense" position
I think the crux is that moderation is not an "adversarial" process; ideally, it's a collaborative one.
 
The Mod team has been stellar! Fair, diligent and above all TRANSPARENT and I am thrilled with the work that they've done this far. Thank you for your efforts, dedication and integrity. It has not gone unnoticed. Thank you!
