Should c/Conspiracies jointly petition admin for a single new moderator as opposed to a mod team or no mods?
Please answer YES or NO in separate main comments below, with any reasoning as desired (including proposals of individual mods, no mod, or multiple mods).
YES indicates our direction should be to get agreement on there being one mod approved first with details to be sorted out later, NO indicates we should take any other direction.
This poll methodology is recognized to be unscientific but is better than nothing. Thank you for your responses. The previous poll yielded 4 votes in favor of moderation, 1 vote against, and 1 vote conditionally in favor.
I recognize that many distrust voting and believe in other methods of consensus, and of individual or group activity; I merely point out that remaining silent on a position is generally treated as giving consent to others to make the decision.
I wasn't going to respond, but I see that you're taking a strong personal interest in this thread. First, there are no generic rules, and I laid a ground rule that anyone could give their reasons. I couldn't find a rule against influencing voters (and you're certainly influencing voters).
More important, I've known you sometimes to respond to logic despite your odd content fixation. You also seem to be adapting to the community's nonverbal consensus and votes in terms of your post volume and selection. Those might be good. I still think you seem to have an idea that the sidebar rules don't apply to you. It is Content Policy that the community "treats others in the way that they would want to be treated." Maybe you want others to diss and insult you the way you do them, to spam and pester, and to badger with illogic and so on. But it seems there's a simpler solution, which is just a little flexibility and further adaptation. If you actually communicate and show that you want to be respectful, honest, nonviolent, nonabusive, then you might not need to adopt all the tactics that push boundaries and get you threatened with discipline, like bullying, attacking, and disruption.
In short I'm trying to recall when I've seen that human side in you where you're here to create a better future, to respect even your enemies, and to convince people with truth rather than with force. You can show that anytime. The NatSoc who dehumanizes others dehumanizes himself.
Leave it to the reddit power mod squatting on 70+ subs to advocate for more moderation...
SR was a "power-mod" on Reddit? - Never visited that place, so only asking.
I've repeatedly said I have no presence on Reddit. People make up what they want to believe. I have been a moderator on other small sites.
