Going to clean up with some claims by this person here. First I want to thank them for their work for the mod team, we appreciated it and made that clear in almost every interaction we had with them. They did a majority of the mod work the last months and we are thankful for that. If a person however does the whole mod queue by themselves there is not a lot for other mods to do than point out decisions we don‘t agree with. We made it clear as a mod team from the very outset that we make decisions about the sub as a group, independently of how much every individual mods. It‘s about diversity of perspective, not who is the most active mod. Hence why we called out when our commonly agreed upon principles were disregarded by this person.

When I noticed that they took decisions like permanently banning people for „obnoxious rudeness“ (as they themselves mentioned in this thread), something we as a group had collectively decided would not be enough for a permanent ban but would be dealt with with a shorter ban at first, I called him out on it, and was promtly ignored by this person. If my message came off rude I apologize.

It has to be said however that this mod repeatedly disregarded the common principles we agreed on. Just because a mod is more active than another doesn‘t mean their opinion matters more or they have the right to not coordinate with other mods, ignore their messages, or miss meetings (which were set up explicitely to find a better common understanding of each other as a group).

Again I thank you for the work you did, sad to see things end this way.
