I think we have a general path forward based on community feedback. “We see you, we hear you!”

I went ahead and unpinned the old post. I’m pinning this one for now and will edit this post when I wake up from eepy time. I had a very mid week and have no particular alarm set so be on look out. Love y’all and I’m amped for my first announcement post since coming back. :)

    I don’t want to lose one of our most visible, transparent admins. I don’t know the rest from a bar of soap let alone the others who were yucking ut up like old pals in the 1.2k comment prior thread. L for public relations and makes the site management even more opaque imo

    Edit: it’s not like we were calling for their head or anything either :/ igi if they want to step fown but still :(

      Yeah there’s been one good admin and that’s been carcosa. One person who has done an incredible job of actually letting this site be transparent, despite there being an obvious clique who just wants to run it all like their shitty little mean girl clubhouse

      yeah, this is an unfortunate (but potentially unavoidable?) side effect of how we’re doing admin anonymity, only very outspoken admins become familiar to the community, even if the rest have been here the whole time, which I believe most have, none of us feel like we know them.

      the gags in the old thread I thought were mostly funny/fine but the overall point of “I don’t know these people” stands

        Struck me as a bit tone deaf/assumed familiarity (even though they’re essentially the same people who’d be posting alongside us on alts) given the context. Also that jt was only the recently appointed admin coming in to comment with none of the others responsible for the decision just highlighted their absence. I know this is internet drama but it’s left a serious sour taste in my mouth :/

          yeah fair

          I think a lot of this has just been messy because of timezones tbh. the other admin accounts are pretty much inactive, and carcosa can’t be online 24/7
