And that's part of a different problem, lack of global mods

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

solution: downvotes

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

Actual Solution: Site-wide mods need to be more(i.e. to moderate s/all and to moderate the default subs)

need less mods actually cuz power always corrupts, best to just let community decide what is bad or not

power always corrupts

Not if the power is elected though

Depending on "global mod" governance and "authority" is weak and makes us children.

We all need to be our own police our own community, regardless of and/or in addition to the mods and admins. Especially when this place is not corporate funded and free of ads.

We all need to contribute in what ways we can. This may mean coming up with alternative solutions.

Subservience to authority that works in your favour is not weak, its smartness

What if, instead, we make magnora a dictator(as in benevolent dictator), and make magnora chose global mods. Also, it would be even better if Saidit required global mods to write a message as to why a post got removed/user got banned, that would make the perfect hierarchy, with both strong authority and transparency regarding bans/removals

We don't need global mods, but a trusted counsel would be good. Several times I've recommended that M7 pick a trusted counsel to take on some of the burden, including collectively determining who's misbehaving poorly enough they need to go, then presenting the proof and verdict to him. This not only frees up his time and energy but it also diffuses the "dictator" aspect. His failure to do so leaves me wondering whether he's a masochist, a megalomaniac, or he feels no one on SaidIt is worthy of his trust. Unless there's already a secret SaidIt Force.

2edgy4me is a common expression on imageboards, forums, even on link aggregators like reddit, people type it in a numbers of variations like 3edgy5me, 4edgy8me, etc. I just replaced the 'edgy' with 'democratic'
