Kind of a moot point now that she’s deleted her account, but I would explicitly not like to see TC69 return as an admin to the site. I have no doubt that she is a good person who has done good things for the site, but her behavior yesterday was extremely inflammatory and escalated tensions for no reason. I was sitting on the bench for this struggle session until I started seeing childish bans from her leveled against users voicing legitimate concerns.
This struggle session could’ve been an email.
“Hey users, the mod team has been talking about the dunk_tank having racist origins so we’ve changed the name to the_slop_trough. We also wanted to gauge user reaction to changing the format of the comm for xyz reasons. You have 3 days to vote and voice concerns etc.”
But at every step it seems that some section of the mod team was lying, vagueposting, bitposting, powertripping, or generally just ignoring valid criticisms and concerns.
I’d love to see this resolved and I think this post is a good start. No need to talk about specific grievances, I think the other users are doing a great job of covering the bases…when they’re not being banned for it ;)
Cool, it appears @morte was banned for this comment…
Christ, the next ban was “none of you are capable of realizing when you need a break”
Mods are absolutely not beating the allegations. Irritating, patronizing bullshit tbh
Edit: and from what I can tell, @Chair was banned for this comment with the mod note “Break Time”

Thanks for your comment. I trust this site to get the issue resolved using that framework, with the key word being transparency here. You are always a welcome sight on the admin team.
I’m gonna go touch grass.
