Hi!

So, since chatter about the mod policies/etc seems to occasionally clutter up the social threads, which isn't really helping anyone, let's try giving it a separate thread.

Ask questions, suggest things, etc. Let's just keep it here instead of polluting the other threads, where there's a lot of people who could not care less (and shouldn't have to).

And it should go without saying, but behave yourselves.

Floor's open!

No. They have a say at the table, but they're only a minority stakeholder.

Admin isn't really a specific flavor; remember "red" koolaid? Like that.

How accurate is communication between mods when an action that requires everyone's consultation has to be taken?

Cause, from past interactions, it appears there's a lot of word of mouth, which isn't too great. Telephone games have been the bane of this website lately, someone telling someone something and at the other end it's become a totally different narrative as it passes through people.

edit: sorry for asking a seriuos question, I didn't realize it was a thread for people to bs in

Maybe it's different in y'all's generation, but in my day, that red koolaid didn't taste like anything beyond sugar and Red #5.

I really do like this topic though, people have been wanting a way to discuss this sort of thing.

If that were true, topic pages would just be one long line of red bars.

We might have to cut down on that! I don't know what will happen if we keep stroking his ego too much...

IIRC that Kool-Aid was 'Rock-A-Dile-Red', and was discontinued like a decade ago :(

Serious questions are ok too! That actually is the point, but I don't mind some jokes on top of it.

So, there's a lot of telephone, you're right. It's gotten better; a lot more focus on getting the actual text of things (like PMs) and working from the source material, as opposed to "well Bob said that Jim told Sarah that...". There's a mod-only section of the forums and a google hangout, and I try to share full text whenever I have it.

But yes, it's not been a strong point in the past. I've tried to do better about that, and there's always room to improve.

It's honestly kind of uncomfortable, and I do wish it would stop. I appreciate the praise, but not at the expense of the other current and former moderators.

I don't think any user would be against having their pm shared between other mods when the matter is about actual moderation.

In case that was a concern at all, anyway.

Whenever it's come up, people have been happy to share amongst the mods.

The problem usually comes when the report comes from a third party (the "it's harassing a friend" type of report).

The truth is that it's often not actually that people want to praise you but rather take a snip at the other ones.
