I do think that the often mentioned post is ambiguous. It could be read as being about removing tags (the question) or closing questions (several of the answers) as such it's causing split opinions and might not be a useful defense for either side. | |
| Apr 10, 2015 at 19:25 | comment | added | joeqwerty | I'm a simple guy and maybe I have an over-simplified view of this issue, but @hopelessn00b was elected as a moderator by the community, partly because we expected and desired this type of action. We needed someone who would use the moderator privileges to clean up the garbage that has been so desperately in need of being cleaned up. Whether he does that one post or one hundred posts at a time is immaterial to me. | |
| Apr 10, 2015 at 19:20 | comment | added | HopelessN00b | @Shog9 I have no idea what you're referencing, and no desire for anyone's protection. I've posted my response to you in the other thread. I am only willing to do the moderator job as it should be done, and only willing to participate in the Server Fault community on the premise that it is a professional community for systems administrations professionals. If either of those things are a problem, proceed to suspend or delete my account as you see fit, but either way, I won't return until next week, which should be enough time for you to come to a decision. | |
| Apr 10, 2015 at 19:09 | comment | added | Hyppy | @Shog9 I'm honestly shocked that such a comment would be the official stance of Stack Exchange. This is deeply disturbing. When did it become personal? | |
| Apr 10, 2015 at 18:27 | comment | added | Shog9 | You avoided answering my question yesterday and you are straight-up lying here. I'm done trying to protect you. | |
| Apr 10, 2015 at 18:02 | comment | added | HopelessN00b | @ShaneMadden Well, for whatever it's worth, my entire tenure as moderator has been one big cleanup effort, and it's both deeply counter-intuitive and extremely demoralizing that cleaning up clear-cut, off-topic content from years ago should require community discussion before hand. "Here's a mod diamond, but before you use it/do what you said in your campaign, discuss it first on meta, even if you just did." | |
| Apr 10, 2015 at 17:49 | comment | added | Shane Madden StaffMod | The problem isn't applying community standards to moderation - it's that a moderator shouldn't undertake a large cleanup campaign without discussing it with the community first. Your efforts are appreciated, but the fact that we're debating the closure of specific questions that got swept up in your cleanup after they were closed instead of beforehand, as well as debating the wording of the comment you're using (which is open to interpretation in two different ways) shows that we clearly could have done this better with some discussion and additional eyeballs beforehand. | |
