Yes. You are absolutely correct. I even stated under "Purpose":

(As an anti-authoritarian and advocate for decentralizing all things, this delicious irony is not lost on me.)

That also applies to my "hierarchy". Yet I recognize that some distinctions must be made. Meanwhile we can keep it as flat and horizontal as possible without endless middle-men and middle-management gumming up the works.

Today I was considering better names and clarifications for my concepts.

What I want to emphasize here is that all users have the same equal privileges and their character alone makes them stand out enough to be trusted and heard above the fray. Naturally others may voice counter ideas and they may ignore or respond as they see fit - always an open dialogue and even playing field.

"Peace keepers" and "peace officers" came to mind but there are too many negative associations. Then I remembered that at Burning Man we have our own community Rangers who are trained in first aid, conflict deescalation, and other things. They are the eyes and ears of the BMOrg. They keep a look out, help out, and will call in the police or other aid if absolutely necessary. Few Burners dislike anything about the Rangers, which cannot be said about the police. All Rangers are just humans, and a few may occasionally overstep their bounds, but not many and not often. Most heavily identify as Rangers over many years and decades taking their responsibility roles seriously and the few who exhibit authoritarian tendencies soon get weeded out.

Normal citizens earn their status above the fray via participation, currently on SaidIt via the insightful / fun score counts. In my proposed Phoenix Forum these would be measured via MetaVotes. Without giving too much away, instead of the vote scores or social credits, MetaVotes would be a cloud of statistics with visualizations. I'll go into detail soon enough.

I'll soon proof read, revise, and include all this in the OP.

Regarding the manufactured drama chaos, /u/TheAmeliaMay and /u/Enza, you should do your best to pay no mind to the professional psychological manipulators. They're more than just asstrolls, they are the front lines of the /s/PsychoWarfare and we must stand firm against them and their corrupt exploitative murderous Zionist establishment they defend. Your sensitivity is commendable and proves you are good people. Always feel free to lean on others for support, and please always remember that there's an infinite number of reasons why anyone (like me) may not immediately respond. This, self-management, organization, and communications are certainly heavy on my mind regarding potential reform concepts for the Next-Gen Phoenix Forum. If I can't build it I can dream it out loud to maybe inspire, influence, or eventually get made. I also aim to animate the dream to help the process, though that may be years away. Picture my projects as something like Wintergatan's Marble Machine X.
