@ArturMeinild Hmmm... that was the plan. I will poke the person who originally looked into this...

@popey The Reps are consulting with Stack Overflow, Inc. and hopefully a resolution will be reached. Then at least full elected and community moderators can swing into action. If you can have patience for a bit longer...

@popey I suspect that the question needs some cleaning up at the very least and some of the comments pruned.

@andrew.46-OnStrike I think there's quite a lot of comments of that kind - over a long time

I think the problem is that one comment is not breaking the rules; OK - it's a bit blunt, but it's not that horrible. It's the sum of them that makes the site feel unwelcoming

@vidarlo Great point, when all the elected Mods are back on deck we need to have a close look at this one. Starting with a decent answer to @popey's excellent question on Meta.

Hard to stand by here with my hands behind my back :(

@andrew.46-OnStrike Ugh

yeah

that flag count notification is taunting me

@JourneymanGeek On AU the flags have been sitting at 25-30 which is high for AU. Spam flags have dropped away the actual spam and I have seen SE staff also handling some of it. I hate to think what is happening on SO :(

Journeyman Geek

74 on SU at the moment

in good days its zero

I suspect it'll be back there a day or two after the strike is done :D

andrew.46 - On Strike

@JourneymanGeek I think some of this on AU at least is decreased actions by many of our so-called 'curators'. There is an unusual number of questions posted with no answers, no votes, no flags...

Journeyman Geek

I wouldn't say so-called

I'd say the community core's one of the places where SE's fallen short

quite a lot relies on suprisingly few

andrew.46 - On Strike

I am not so keen on the term itself. I have always preferred the term 'Community Moderator' to contrast with 'Elected Moderator'

But curator seems to be pretty embedded term now

Journeyman Geek

Well there's folks with different levels of engagement

there's folks who are not formally moderators who do both the 'mechanical' work like queues and such, and community work

and there's peoplem who contribute

In a healthy community we wouldn't be fully reliant on mods to do things - a lot of work is community done

@JourneymanGeek I was not involved in the last big blowup with the company so I cannot speak with real knowledge but I am hoping that the community and Company can rebuild. And we can again work to produce a healthy community...

Journeyman Geek

@andrew.46-OnStrike That's very much on the company
