1) To be clear, administration is not moderation. It's all the Linux technical skills and wherewithal, along with prompt and timely servicing to keep the site up.

2) & 3) I'm asking for all this "bureaucracy" for several reasons.

• It would show you're serious about it.
• It's like a business plan, with firm foundations yet obviously adaptable.
• It should leave leave little room for confusion or doubt regarding what the forum is about.
• It would allow different forums to determine what they can and can't agree on for collaborative efforts to better resist censorship and tyranny.

I aim to develop many template-sets with many variables for many types of communities, including some that may be completely at odds. These many template-sets would be very simple self-identifying universal labels. For example, CreativeCommons has seven regularly used licenses (I think they should have more, but that's another story) to choose from if you wish to share your content. Why not have simple quick-reference labels like these that can apply to all forums on a collectively standardized set of criteria?

3) You're already collaborating with leftist communities, though not so much the SJWs thankfully. The left exists here on SaidIt, our shared platform. I appreciate much on both sides and generally lean a little left of center but mostly I am a anarcho-voluntaryist.

IMO, it makes more sense to survive by being smart, collaborating to conserve, fortify what we share in common, and agree to disagree on the minor trivialities under the Zionist corporatocracy oppression (which includes the GOP, NeoCons, Christian Zionists, etc) as capitalism and communism merge into global totalitarianism.

To tolerate them on the platform means you would all need to have common ground rules and the bills paid. That's what I mean by collaboration. That's also #4).

5) If we can make the template-sets to categorize feeds/forums/platforms, then I think we can also make tag-labels for content and/or users that we can filter out. I've outlined this several times before but here are some tag-labels:

1. site and instance owner(s)
2. administrators
3. moderating trusted-team
4. active non-partisan users
5. centrist users
6. right-leaning users
7. left-leaning users
8. alt-right users
9. far-left users
10. rare users and lurkers
11. STABs (shills, trolls, and bots)
12. banned asstrolls (their filtered content remains uncensored on the record)

Turn on and off the filters as you like. There's be no more need for censorship. Obviously we could rework this and/or other lists until sets of standard filter options exist.

At present this is just a vapourware idea that would require serious coding effort.

At present there's no leadership for SaidIt. I'm not going to tell you I'm better. However, I'm proposing we develop better fair systems so that it's not all on one flakey dude. With the fundamental foundation that things be fair, open, accountable, consistent, and honest we can build upon that. Anything that violates that fundamental should be shunned. There will be ups and downs and ebbs and flows but a transparent process can only be better. In time the normies will find us.

/u/Dinosaurysus also wisely stated:

" And we should have representatives talk about it, advertise, drum up support. We don't have enough people here but most of us aren't just on Saidit. We'd need some kind of promo package so everyone isn't doing it ad hoc. "

He summarized in a nutshell our ideal forum policy: janitorial rather than editorial and opinion moderation - to just clean up junk without policing.
