A: Handling Calls to Remove a Moderator

Shog9Moderator Action Review Process After much discussion, debate, reflection, consultation, frustration, revelation, constipation and inspiration, we've settled on the following process for allowing a team of moderators to remove one of their own. It is, by necessity, somewhat formal: this process...

Seems like the powers that be forgot about their existing policy

@Snow CM's will grow very bored with dealing with comment flags and just ignore it quickly enough
Oct 3, 2019 15:36
With no mods we have comment anarchy
Oct 3, 2019 15:34
I see about a 60-40 chance the site ends up shuttered as the comments run amok
Oct 3, 2019 15:33
@RichardU I think that depends alot on if the site can self govern well enough to avoid being shuttered before they get some new mods.

@MikeQ Best way to silence criticism is to control the message by deleting anything you disagree with.
Oct 3, 2019 15:26
The powers that be do not like being questioned.

Oct 3, 2019 15:02
Did she challenge the Powers that be?
Oct 3, 2019 15:02
I am i see that she was removed but no explanation of why or what led up to it
Oct 3, 2019 14:59

@Vikas Your last working day would be the 30th in normal circumstances
Jul 15, 2019 15:04
I think this is a decent question. It is answerable and not about a specific choice. Any way we can improve it and get it reopened?

@paul23 You can create a throwaway account to ask a question. You can also flag the post and have it disassociated with your account after the fact.

Happy Tuesday all

I am not saying all answers should be referenced but it should be the norm rather than the exception
Jun 24, 2019 14:45
@motosubatsu Well if general opinions are acceptable with out any reference then there is no reason to restrict Career Advice questions. The main reason we called them off topic was because all the answers were pure opinion.
Jun 24, 2019 14:41
ohh well.
Jun 24, 2019 14:41
I am not calling anyone out for it. Just too bad none of those answers have links. That is the problem.
Jun 24, 2019 14:35
There used to be a culture of include references in answers. It seems no one even tries any more
Jun 24, 2019 14:14
same problem 11 answers 0 references

Q: Was it really unprofessional of me to leave without asking for a raise first?
