@Mari-LouA that's part of it. And that it wasn't really a question - even somewhat by your own admission

It was a series of quotes ._.

@DavidA Mod deletions is part of the normal deletion process

in some cases, we do need to be able to be the tiebreaker, or actually be able to make decisions that stick

Rob

^ There is also a comment about 'no obligation to host discussions about matters under litigation'. There's a better explained discussion in the comments, somewhere, but that's what I found in 10 mins, there's also the well known Q&A.

Mithical

*rubs ears* I knew there was a reason I generally use earbuds over headphones when possible, despite the better sound quality from the headphones... the headphones really start to hurt after a few hours.

They just crush your ears against your head and... that hurts.

Journeyman Geek

lol

@Mithical depends on the headphones

Mithical

Well, of course.

Journeyman Geek

and they kinda break in after a while. Some folks kinda prestretch them with books

Mithical

My earbuds died a couple days ago, though, so I was stuck borrowing the headphones.

Earbuds always die so quickly. :(

Journeyman Geek

1:02 AM

oh

Mari-Lou A

@JourneymanGeek So let the community decide if it had to stay closed. You, as a moderator, are supposed to support the community not make their choices for them. Furthermore, the question had attracted a sizeable number of upvotes, I like to think that one or more quotes struck a chord in members.

Journeyman Geek

If you can get em - xiomi's pistons (get the metal ones) tend to survive me ;p

@Mari-LouA uhm. I've been a moderator for a couple of years

Mithical

These were samsung earbuds, they were supposed to last

Journeyman Geek

We need the freedom to make these decisions

especially in situations like these

Mari-Lou A

The opinion of the community has precedent over your own personal likes or dislikes.

Journeyman Geek

1:03 AM

cause everyone seems to think they know better

Mithical

They lasted... a couple of months, which is longer than some, but... still. They were a hundred NIS, I'd expect them to last a bit longer than that.

Journeyman Geek

@Mari-LouA and yet, we're expected and trusted to make these decisions

and we're going to have to make them

Mithical

@Mari-LouA Moderators have the tools to override the community because they sometimes need to use them. It's a judgement call.

Mari-Lou A

@JourneymanGeek I feel I am blacklisted, am I mistaken?

Journeyman Geek

Nope

Mithical

1:05 AM

Just because something was popular does not necessarily mean that it was productive.

3

Journeyman Geek

But we might not agree with your view on certain things and specific cases

Mari-Lou A

Nope? I'm not mistaken. Good to know. I used to believe that mods act silently in the background, and act as mediators not as generals. What happened to dialogue? What happened to the person who said "We need to stop yelling" and “If you have a specific personal issue with [username] - maybe let her know?”

7

"But we might not agree with your view on certain things and specific cases" and that always justifies deletion, does it? Yet, not one comment by Monica Cellio has been deleted because she has real influence.

Mithical

Mari-Lou... you're not on any blacklist. Having your post deleted isn't always a black mark against you. It means that in this case, your post was determined to not be constructive enough to be worth keeping around. The way it was posted, it didn't seem to be very conducive to moving forward, which is what we need to be focusing on now. Please don't take this personally, or personally go after JMG.

Mari-Lou A

@Mithical I've had more than one post deleted. If it was only one, would I be here?

Journeyman Geek

We get yelled at a lot

and we keep trying to do the right thing

Mari-Lou A

1:13 AM

I am personally going after all three moderators. I am very fair, and what's more I did not vote for any one of them. I've said my piece.

Mithical

*sigh*

We need to be focusing on what we can do to improve things going forwards, not constantly rehashing things that are in the past.

2

If you want to hold a grudge against the moderators... I can't do anything about that. I will say that it will make moving forwards very difficult, though.

The moderators are in a very difficult position right now, with everything being a mess. They're going to need to sometimes make tough decisions, such as deleting popular posts, because that's what needs to happen in order to keep the site running and moving forwards. Let's try not to make things harder for them and instead try to understand the reasons behind the actions.

4

Because I know the three MSE moderators to a certain extent, and I find it hard to believe that any of them would delete something without a good reason.

ArtOfCode

@Mari-LouA that... is not an attitude that will get you anywhere

@Mithical I spoiled myself on headphones a couple years ago... Sennheiser PXC 550's. Super comfy.

Journeyman Geek

@Mari-LouA If you're going to "go after us"....

I don't think that will be very productive

Yes, we were hand picked - and the situation we started off in was very different. We... have to deal with it however, or quit

And I am bloody tired of people trying to bully me into quitting

Two of them seem redundant together.

Needs focus vs needs clarity?

I have a feeling this will make the regular "too broad" arguments far more complex...

Journeyman Geek

1:51 AM

needs focus = too broad

needs clarity = unclear what you are asking

The forest of Reinstate Monica

I get it, but it's not as intuitive.

This will be a problem to many people, especially with English not being their first language.

Too broad and unclear what you're asking are basic, plain English phrases.

"Needs focus" in particular isn't very easy to understand.

Journeyman Geek

I actually suspect its harder for us than new users

we're set in our ways :D

The forest of Reinstate Monica

Oh it's far harder for us than new users, but it'll still be hard for new users from an English perspective.

@TheforestofReinstateMonica Check the Bump FAQ if you have unusual bumps. Reason: answer at 0 (now 1), and that's recent activity. The bumps were recorded.

As for "lack of a Post Notice" write an answer to the announcement "Post Notices" instead of writing a new question on Meta.

The forest of Reinstate Monica

Oh, is that a recent change?

Rob

4:46 AM

The new notices are live everywhere, it's ~1 week old. If you like / dislike something you can post it as an answer there (doing that is not "new").

The forest of Reinstate Monica

I haven't been on for a few days so I must not have noticed.

I actually had no power for the last couple of days.

Rob

5:11 AM

I hate power failures. Fortunately I live near the city center so our power is restored first. My last couple of "power failures" (if you would call them that, I would) were a few seconds long. Previous to that I've had a couple that lasted an hour or two, once several hours. 😱

The forest of Reinstate Monica

In my case, I feel double unlucky, because my generator was also not working.

Rob

Yes, a generator is essential if you have long failures (and like having power).

The forest of Reinstate Monica

A working generator is a plus. :P

Rob

I have a half dozen LED flashlights, s! I even have a few sets of Night Vision goggles. 😆

The forest of Reinstate Monica

Heh nice. I have a few flashlights and a crappy UPS that gives me almost 5 minutes of power.

And one crank powered flashlight... somewhere... probably lost forever.

Rob

5:16 AM

The UPS should send a signal to your OS to shut down your computer properly, so nothing is lost - if it's set up correctly.

The forest of Reinstate Monica

Yeah it does over RS-232. Still annoying since it means I don't have much time to finish things.

Rob

Crank FLs and Radios are a good idea.

Good old '232, luckily computers still have that Port.

The forest of Reinstate Monica

At least server mobos.

I like RS-232 simply because it's so simple and reliable.

Perfect for low-bandwidth communication.

Rob

I used to use it for my 300 baud modem.

My cellphone's USB port is about 4 million times faster.

The forest of Reinstate Monica

Remember when you could use an audio jack to transmit data from tapes? :P

And listen to the beautiful unique sounds of a tape loading on an old home computer system.

And then you'd hear that long high-pitched "vzzzzzz" for 30 seconds and get pissed that whoever wrote the software didn't compress that burst of 1s and thought to make you wait instead.

Rob

5:24 AM

The forest of Reinstate Monica

Was thinking of Speccy, but Commodore was also great.

I don't think C64 played the tape as it loaded though, did it?

Rob

You could listen to the C64 audio on fast forward, you'd count the breaks to skip to the program you wanted if you had short ones (tape counter was not accurate if you fast forward).

I really liked the 56K modem connection sounds. It sounded like it was having a cow, you knew it was trying!

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Red Hot Chili Peppers are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1983. The group's musical style primarily consists of alternative rock with an emphasis on funk, as well as elements from other genres such as punk rock and psychedelic rock. When played live, their music incorporates elements of jam band due to the improvised nature of many of their performances. Currently, the band consists of founding members vocalist Anthony Kiedis and bassist Flea (Michael Peter Balzary), longtime drummer Chad Smith, and former touring guitarist Josh Klinghoffer. Red Hot Chili Peppers are one of the best...

@JourneymanGeek I ate raw wasabi few times.

@ShadowThePrincessWizard Its like a horrible trainwreck in your mouth :D

Shadow The Princess Wizard

@JourneymanGeek nah

It was bitter at first, this I remember well, then.... hot? Can't put the feeling into words.

But not that bad.

I mean... no worse than eating a whole hot pepper.

Journeyman Geek

This was probably fake

Shadow The Princess Wizard

nah

It was part of Japanese dish.

I didn't eat much, of course.

John Dvorak

Three suspensions in a day, for seemingly zero reason. That's got to get people worried...

I count only two, and those were not for zero reason. Pick any of the above and apply as wished, or feel free to make up your own :) People seem perfectly capable of doing that for the third I think you're talking about as well.

Do you want meta to work? Then getting rid of what I described in my first message is necessary.

John Dvorak

7:17 PM

By purging a large part of the userbase?

Tinkeringbell

Oh, rather not. But we can only send so many warnings....

If people behave, there's no need to suspend them... btw a suspension isn't a purge.

I'd rather purge the behaviour than the users exhibiting it, but sometimes people refuse to change :(

John Dvorak

Anything I can do to calm down those worried the suspensions may come to them as well?

Tinkeringbell

Teach them how to meta constructively?

Edit posts that are written with generous helpings of salacious language and details so others don't get tempted to engage with that instead of the actual question.

Answer only their questions, don't get side-tracked into debating anything that's not constructive (like reasons for suspension, deletion... anything that needs more information than you have)... If they do ask questions the community can't full well answer, ask them to raise flags, or use contact us.

Let people know when their comment threads are no longer aimed at discussing whatever is in the question/answer, and flag for a mod to clean those up...

Mithical

I have no idea what I said in the middle of last night that's on the starboard, but it's probably relevant.

Tinkeringbell

And rene's advice is good: If they are thinking twice about posting something... perhaps they shouldn't. Mods are often in this chatroom, we can clarify stuff in here, help hammer out a good question if necessary.

Q: What is considered acceptable feedback?

In the past 48 hours, a question related to the specific wording of the Code of Conduct went from being open to deleted, and its author was subject to a 7-day suspension. The topic of the question itself was about a clarification of the standard of "acting in good faith", present in the CoC, but ...

discussion account-suspension

Something has changed. Regulars are not practicing what they preach(ed) is my opinion.

When inflammatory posts turned up on metas and a while later you saw the user suspended, you assumed there was a lot you missed and mods acted on what you exactly wish them to act on.

I get why it would be suspicious if the suspension was handed out by a CM or other SE staff, but if it was mods doing their work? Now we're inquiring suspensions because we agreed with the inflammatory post?

Now don't get me wrong. I don't recall the Resistance guy, since these days I'm busy fitting proteins names somewhere in the memory box, and I probably would have agreed with most of what was said, even if I wouldn't have approved the approach.

However, I can't help but notice that what we told people from the other side™ ("you can't know why they were suspended, but it was not for merely writing a rant on meta") we don't practice ourselves.

A: A very recent post asking people to go "on strike" was just deleted

How is this an answer?

ArtOfCode

to be fair, there's no question in the question either

it's an answer because it shows exactly who deleted it and why

user245382

@M.A.R. I would say that this is no longer a safe assumption to make, due to the amount of trust and goodwill that has been lost. Whenever something is deleted or something is suspended, the default assumption is "censorship" and "abuse of power" not "reasonable action".

rene

That is easy to fix, me thinks?

user245382

9:31 PM

Well, step #1 would probably involve "stop censoring things that ask about the censored thing". Or, in other words, stop digging

rene

Did you consider to change the default assumption?

user245382

I can't do anything to change other people's default assumptions

rene

You don't need to.

user245382

Then I guess it's not easy to fix.

rene

Yes, it is.

M.A.R.

9:39 PM

@House-'ReinstateMonica'-man isn't that the whole point though? Not to make negative assumptions that would lead to negative actions when it's something you're not entirely sure of?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the underlying issue in the most pressing social problems of the western societies today?

user245382

@M.A.R. People try to avoid making those negative assumptions by asking questions. Then those questions get deleted and the users who asked those questions get suspended.

M.A.R.

Although I do have a tendency to overgeneralize things

@House-'ReinstateMonica'-man I don't think it's accurate to say they're just "asking questions"

user245382

That sounds like a negative assumption

M.A.R.

No, it's an observation.

user245382

You could also re-frame the "negative assumptions" as observations.

user245382

9:44 PM

Like "An observation: _____ was suspended for criticizing ______, and ______ is abusing their power" What's the difference?

M.A.R.

The community has been polarized into two main groups of "screw it, burn it to hell" and people trying to maintain the current system even if it's dangling unevenly in the air. It's a spectrum, I'm lying close to the middle, as usual, but members within the community are now . . . being snarky at each other, to put it mildly

They're not just asking "why was my post deleted?", if it was just that, it would have been fine

Mithical

Frankly, people seem to be more interested in stirring the pot and pointing fingers over being constructive.

M.A.R.

Part of the screw-it philosophy I guess. Both sides have their pros and cons.

user245382

Maybe when the people come back after their suspensions, they'll ask "why was I suspended", and then everything will be fine?

M.A.R.

Because that has always ended up in a jolly constructive discussion

Even Disney princesses can't get that conversation going smoothly

user245382

9:47 PM

If asking "why was my post deleted?" is fine, then that should also be fine, I would think

M.A.R.

Where is Derpy when you need references

user245382

But my only point in response to your "rant " of "Something has changed.", is that yeah, something definitely has changed.

M.A.R.

@House-'ReinstateMonica'-man It boils down to manners, if I haven't been clear. People are not being level-headed about it, and it ends up upsetting everyone, merely adding to suspicions and fears.

Rob

Some people stomp their feet and walk out. When they come back to see that they didn't get their way, that everyone and everything was magic-wanded they stomp their feet again, and again. Then they get the boot, and come back; to see if this things will be different.

user245382

@M.A.R. I agree. People are definitely not being level-headed about it. Including mods and staff members.
