@BigHomie: n00b was called a liar and Shog "promised" to "get to the bottom of this" -- That is a bit odd. It suggests that I still don't know the whole story.

So there is no question of accountability, those in the community who were active on this meta were aware and approved of what was going on, and n00b was arguably elected on a clean up campaign. The core community here is in agreement with off topic Q/As and what should be done about them. | |
| Apr 13, 2015 at 12:49 | comment | added | MDMoore313 | @RobertHarvey I've read your comments here, but I'm not sure you know the whole story. In fact, I'm convinced you don't, because no one here does, we know n00b's side, and we're currently waiting for Shog's post mortem. That being said, Shog assumed the worst, which is fine if one suspects a hacked account or a rogue mod or whatever, however after dialog w/ n00b confirming this was not the case, n00b was called a liar and Shog "promised" to "get to the bottom of this" | |

The biggest problem I see here is that Stack Exchange is showing that they do not trust democratically elected moderators to do what they were elected to do -- It's not a question of trust; it's a question of accountability. Your statement seems to imply that there's no need for any, which is demonstrably false.

"I don't know why anyone would want to be a moderator, now" - well crap...I might as well start getting used to Evan Carroll as moderator.

There's nothing wrong with accountability, but this episode hasn't shown SE in a particularly good light in my opinion. | |
