Je démissionne de mon poste de modérateur volontaire et vous êtes en droit de savoir pourquoi. Je ne peux pas accepter ce que la société Stack Exchange vient de faire (en privé, mais je pense que cela va rapidement s'ébruiter).

I am stepping down as a moderator, and you deserve to know why. I cannot condone actions that the company has recently taken (behind close doors, although I expect more will become public soon).

Monica was removed as a moderator over the weekend by the SE staff. It wasn’t her decision.
As a result of that decision and the wider issue that prompted it, I have taken the easy decision of immediately stepping down.
Good luck to you and all who follow.
I'm not sure but I think it may have some connections with the other issue we discussed yesterday.
SE even conduct moderator elections in a democratic way. And criticism is an essential part of democracy. I don't have enough insights so I can't say much more.
@OptimusPrime I don't find comparisons to a country's system of government apt or productive. If SE was a country, it would be a strange one.
You can elect your representatives... well except that most were already elected before you were born, and never need to be re-elected. Do you feel they represent you?
They can also be dismissed at will by the president, who is not elected at all - it's just someone who owns the country.
A strange country that would be, and "democracy" is not a word I would use to describe it.
Not to mention that many of the recent elections were conducted Soviet Union - style, with as many candidates as positions.
Last spring, I ran an election on Parenting for a new moderator pro tempore. It went pretty well, so this fall we are going to extend the program to sites that have been in "beta" for years. Here's how it works:
We're reaching out to moderator teams to see if they would be interested in partici...
Right-click on the logo and hit "Inspect", you'll see it's part of an SVG image on cdn.sstatic.com.
I'll expand this answer when I get to my computer later.
@Stormblessed based on that Company page only listing SO, SU, SF (the original trilogy), there's a possibility that other sites don't have, but I'm relieved if someone proves me wrong.
Would it be possible to update the StackExchange button drop-down to include scalable vector graphics (SVG) favicons for each site?
I didn't notice any mention of this during the original design and beta testing phases.
I wasn't going to speculate why, but look at the bigger picture. Especially the smaller sites who lose their mods might get into a problematic situation and end up being unable to fully keep up with moderation "demand" (as in what's needed, demand and supply, yeah, awful comparison). If there's no elections, that's not gonna make things better.
Of course, it could be that SE employees have reshuffled priorities giving them more time to moderate the site, so they don't need an extra community moderator.
There's a lot of complicated and nuanced stuff happening, mostly in private at the moment. Public speculation and discussion is really not going to be helpful at the moment; please respect that.
Folks, believe me: anyone with a diamond has heard more than enough about this issue recently. Kicking an unhelpful discussion off here that we've all already had multiple times will make you very unpopular. Details will be released by the appropriate people at the appropriate time; until then, wait.

Your friendly neighborhood moderators are all currently smarting for one reason or another, though they're all related to the same thing. Grizzly bears who have just had birds crap on their heads do not appreciate also being poked with sticks.
Yes, we're not being forthcoming. That's partially because there's not much we're allowed to share because of where it played out, and partially out of respect for the people more directly involved who are unable to speak for themselves for one reason or another. If it matters to anyone that much, ask on MSE and you might get a response at some point when things play out. If it doesn't (and it shouldn't, really), then just get on with business as usual.
@Stormblessed I come back for a bit after being offline for 50 hours to find a hell of a lot of crappy stuff has happened, almost all of it not public, and a lot of directly relevant either to me or my site, and every bit of it relevant to people I care about and respect. So yeah, I don't especially appreciate pokes into stuff that is directly related to that, and may be a drop on edge.
Well... a Dutch driver just won the F2 championship.
And is moving on to Formula E instead of Formula 1. Which is cool and progressive.
> Tuesday I have one day to get my stuff together and then I'm leaving for Fuji. When I come back from Fuji I won't even be coming home. I'll have to ask my sister to bring new luggage and go to Germany for Mercedes. From there I go to England for Suzuka race support I think for MGP. From there I go straight to Valencia because I thought it wasn't worth doing two extra flights for one day. I've a week there... then I lose track.
