| Feb 4 at 10:10 | comment | added | TheMaster | Wow even the link here pointing to the deletion(in one of the comments) is edited out. Does the truth harm you so much that you want to hide all traces of it? | |
| Jan 31 at 19:54 | comment | added | TheMaster | I'm also sure that those users, who, if in fact they were abusive or broke the rules - as you accuse them, were the ones who were punished, compared to mods, as you hold all the power in this relationship. Plenty of suspensions on one side, but the mod team comes out unscathed eh? Even any accusations or dissent is hidden by forceful deletion - making them look squeaky clean. Right? Just bandaging wounds only creates stinky infections. You need to open it and expose it for real healing. | |
| Jan 31 at 19:52 | comment | added | TheMaster | @Blindspots If you have old community members, who aren't moderators, who would vouch for deletion of this post as a justifiable act, show me. I can't see any one other than you claiming a moral high ground on this issue. I really don't care if members were abusive or broke so many rules I hold the position of moderator against a very high standard. Regardless of what happened before, deleting my post is a clear abuse of moderator power and completely eroded any trust I have in you personally. | |
| Jan 31 at 18:24 | comment | added | Blindspots Mod | @TheMaster we all have bias. My goal isn't to suppress dissent, my goal is to encourage a healthy site. You are on a different timeline than the community based on when you took an active interest here. Most of use are incrementally turning the corner and rebuilding a more healthy participation from both mods and regular users. You are clearly upset but we've all had to take a step back and a breath and find a way forward. The claim that the mods bear sole responsibility for the current situation & that the community members in question always acted in good faith is an expensive one. | |
| Jan 31 at 7:51 | comment | added | TheMaster | You already know 3 users who satisfy that criteria who objected to that deletion directly to you, without even having to search for it or me asking for it. And the deleted post was unanimously upvoted, by at least 6 users in 2 days, which mean they agree at minimum, transparency on the matter is required. "Completely out of line" is the interpretation of only you and probably that of other mods with conflict of interests. | |
| Jan 31 at 7:46 | comment | added | TheMaster | @Blindspots How is "completely out of line" determined? If the allegation is "completely out of line", shouldn't the mod team respond to such grave and serious allegation with the truth, rather than silencing it? 3 users mean consensus. Show me three users in the community with at least 500 reps in WA, who are not moderators(here or elsewhere), who agree that the deletetion is warranted or justifiable. | |
| Jan 31 at 4:35 | comment | added | Blindspots Mod | @TheMaster-StopWAModAbuse 'Mod right or wrong' okay on meta. TheMaster completely out of line, not okay on site or meta. There is a universe of space between what you are comfortable posting and something that "casts a shadow of doubt" on mod actions. | |
| Jan 31 at 4:22 | comment | added | TheMaster | @Blindspots Please explain why that's inappropriate. To me it is a clear abuse of power. Weren't you the one who said discussion on mod behavior belongs on meta? Or Did you mean any defense of moderators actions is acceptable in meta, but any thing that even casts a shadow of doubt on mod integrity is not acceptable within meta? Mod right - ok in Meta. Mod probably wrong - not ok in Meta. Is that your stance? | |
| Jan 31 at 3:56 | comment | added | Blindspots Mod | @TheMaster-StopWAModAbuse You had one post deleted that was extraordinarily innapropriate. If I was out of line you should escalate it to mods. FYI You are now having your comments flagged by other community members as well. | |
| Jan 31 at 3:23 | comment | added | TheMaster | @Blindsp In practice, I tried to resolve any misunderstandings through meta. But I believe this won't work, as you/mod team deleted my discussion on mod behavior to reduce visibility/transparency on such behavior, which - disregarding the actual allegation, is a clear abuse of power. I prefer a vote of no confidence process in SE. But, without that, I can only ask, hoping you won't delete this as well. If you're interested in saving the site/community rather than defending moderators, I respectfully ask you and the moderator(s) involved to voluntarily step down, for the sake of site/community. | |
| Jan 31 at 2:46 | comment | added | Blindspots Mod | @TheMaster-StopWAModAbuse that is your interpretation. Also while you may say you are interested in stopping "WA Mod Abuse" in practice you don't seem to do anything to stop it. | |
| Jan 25 at 5:12 | comment | added | TheMaster | If moderators cared more about the site than they care about their own pride, they would've stepped down voluntarily, by now. | |
