Nov 21, 2014 at 15:36 comment added the-wabbit I am interpreting this passage as a requirement for moderator action and content to be exemplary to others: no arbitrary decisions, no swearing, this kind of stuff. It does not sound like a call to arms to me.
Nov 21, 2014 at 10:21 comment added Mark Henderson Mod Uhhh, ok. I'm not chasing votes? I am not interested in being seen at all. I prefer to work behind the scenes, quietly. It's what I've been doing for years now. You seem to want me to be all loud and shouty. Also, as you of all people should know, moderators are not officials. We have no say or sway in official SE politics. We are janitors with a special star on their name. Nothing to be particularly proud of there.

Nov 20, 2014 at 23:47 comment added Mark Henderson Mod It is true that I was once way more active than I am now. Before I was a mod I had edited hundreds of questions. However my interpretation of being a "leader" is different to others perhaps. When I say being a "leader" I don't believe moderators are meant to lead people into battle. We are here to clean up the mess that remains. So in this part, I guess I have worded my intentions poorly.
Nov 20, 2014 at 23:40 comment added Shane Madden StaffMod Because this is your answer to the question "should mods be hammering in abundance?", so that's how I'm interpreting it - if this is aimed particularly at lack of visibility of current moderators, and not an answer to the question of how aggressive our mods should be in general, then this probably isn't the place to discuss it.
Nov 20, 2014 at 23:36 comment added user9517 What makes you think that ?
Nov 20, 2014 at 23:34 comment added Shane Madden StaffMod So you're saying that "being a community leader = abundance of mod actions"?
