Y'all have a hard and often thankless job to do, and you do it well.
Especially on the topics of controversial issues, you are all excellent at knowing when the line is drawn between discussion of the issue and when it's devolved into personal attacks!
tbh I'm not sure how you you don't blow up at us half the time!
So cheers to you and yours!
@shodhornet16837 If you have any issue with or wish to appeal any moderation actions you can do so via Support.
Rare's overall environment that they have is interesting to me and imo impressive.
They have their leanings and views (which they make pretty obvious) while doing something that is becoming more "rare", they keep people/voices around that are substantively free to disagree and even get (imo) overly critical.
Many of us are quite different on the forums, many of the partners really are quite different in some ways.
The mods help support an overall environment that is built on valuing feedback and a variety of different opinions/personalities (within the rules).
Don't really see it that often, at least not as consistent as it is around SoT. It's the good stuff.
Moderation is not easy - often, having to put your own feelings and opinions aside to uphold the peace and enforce the rules of a community can be draining, especially in the face of criticism. These are more often unpaid "jobs" as well. There may be some perks, but they mostly do it for the love of the community.
You don't have to agree with everything they do, it's never personal if you get mod edited, but show them respect for all the time and energy they give.
To the mods! 🍻Sláinte!
