so... did we move or what?
there was a new 196 created, however it states it will be deleted if the original is opened back up. the mods did open up the original 196, but people seem to want the mods replaced so the replacement 196 has not been deleted yet
Wanting the mods to step down is honestly just so nasty and non-appreciative of what they've done. I don't get why there has been a backlash at all.
One bad act will undo years of good will, we see this constantly irl. Why do you think the mods deserve any benefit of the doubt from people when they unilaterally chose to make a bad decision with no input from the community? If the community can't trust them to act in their best interests, they're absolutely well within their rights to demand they step down or move to the replacement community. Because of they're going to do this once, what are the odds they actually learn the correct lesson and don't do this kind of shit again?
Yeah, I don't agree. I think that's a pretty awful mind-set, especially if you get into the theory of evolution of trust and that all people can make mistakes.
Also I don't agree that it's a bad decision at all.
