| Nov 6, 2023 at 17:54 | comment | added | Snack Exchange | @Sklivvz I don't name anyone, but some of mods in Movies & TV SE seem toxic to me. That's one of the reasons I deleted my Movies account. | |
| Nov 15, 2020 at 0:35 | comment | added | Michael Hardy | "It's a policy that involves communication followed by a "cooling off" suspension (the words "cooling off" are actually used in the suspension templates)." The term "cooling off" presupposes that conduct considered objectionable by the moderators can ONLY be caused by EMOTIONS. To say that the moderators could be competent to pass judgment on users' emotions would be imbecilic and dishonest. | |

| Nov 23, 2019 at 8:25 | comment | added | Sklivvz | My upvote became a downvote. Of course, there's toxicity in the mod community. In fact, your answer is pretty toxic in its own way... This is unavoidable when... people have things to complain about. People will complain given enough incentive. The downvote is because you have forgotten where that continuing incentive originated. | |
| Nov 22, 2019 at 7:28 | comment | added | Wad Cheber | Congrats on dumping one of your best mods on any site. This is maybe the worst decision since Galileo's trial. The shortsightedness and self-destructive determination to shoot yourselves in the foot is staggering. @shog9 has a problem seeing boundaries and controlling his less reasonable instincts. | |

| Nov 8, 2019 at 22:16 | comment | added | hayd | This post reads like David Fullerton's "apology" came out after 5th November 2019. I thought maybe there had been a subsequent announcement. There's hasn't. | |

| Oct 21, 2019 at 6:11 | comment | added | user351483 | @tgm1024 I'm only speaking for myself here. The reasons for the other moderators resigning are well-documented in their own resignation posts. | |
| Oct 20, 2019 at 23:53 | comment | added | tgm1024--Monica was mistreated | @Snow, the resigned moderators also feel that the users are more important than the company. That's why they resigned, yes? | |

| Oct 10, 2019 at 12:15 | comment | added | Russell McMahon | @snow Your points are well taken but you may (or may not) wish to reconsider your " ... . I cannot in good conscience continue serving a community when I don’t feel valued, heard, or supported by the level above me. ..." -> To borrow a phrase from another arena "It's not about you". Substitute "below" for "above" and the comment is more valid. What the level above you thinks of you counts for very little in how you act "in good conscience". [I have had substantial personal experience of this 'in other arenas']. Serve the people, grit your teeth and bear the slings and arrows from "above". | |
| Oct 10, 2019 at 5:04 | comment | added | user64742 | I also don't understand the purpose of posting the CoC early for moderators to review if challenging them or asking for clarification results in a sanction. At that point why are they even having you review them? Just post them universally for every user at the same time (including non-paid stack exchange employed moderators) and tell mods to enforce them to the best of their ability... | |
| Oct 10, 2019 at 5:02 | comment | added | user64742 | @MonicaCellio not to mention (based on what I've read) you never once stated that you wouldn't follow the policy or the spirit of the policy should it put in place. You merely asked for clarification of what the policy was. In order words, they didn't just sanction for "suspicion of future problems", they sanctioned you for the equivalent of "this person is too stupid to follow our policy". In my opinion, that's flat out insulting to your intelligence! | |

| Oct 3, 2019 at 21:16 | comment | added | einpoklum | Not good enough. One-sided enforcement of policy - and coercive policy at that, in the form of tightening the infamous code of conduct - is not made all right by people being given "time to reflect" before being expected to be on-board-or-else. | |
| Oct 3, 2019 at 20:17 | comment | added | user206222 | I will point out that the linked procedure covers the "process for allowing a team of moderators to remove one of their own," which isn't what happened here. So that policy is by default inapplicable. | |
| Oct 3, 2019 at 19:48 | comment | added | user622361 | Is anyone else having trouble upvoting this? Also, is deleting posts the best way to remove them off this site? I'm not comfortable or tolerant of my licensing rights being ignored. | |

| Oct 1, 2019 at 14:52 | comment | added | Nick Cardoso | @JustinTime I agree with you wholly, another sad day for SE. The false accusations against anyone not far enough left has been going on for a couple of years now. Unfortunately the only two mods who I would like to see go (for the reason of always taking sides based on skin tone and politics) haven't resigned, so their influence now grows. This is good for the individuals who resigned (and I support them) and bad for the stack exchange. | |

| Sep 30, 2019 at 21:31 | comment | added | Justin Time - Reinstate Monica | I'm sorry you were a victim of this sort of mentality, @MonicaCellio. While I've never interacted with you personally (to my recollection), you've done nothing but leave a good impression on everyone you've encountered. As far as I can tell, you are one of the best examples in this community of what diversity, tolerance, and respect should look like, which makes this decision highly questionable on their end, IMO. But alas, we have always been at war with Eastasia. | |
| Sep 30, 2019 at 18:29 | comment | added | user541686 | @MonicaCellio: I have no clue what happened yet (I just read this like 5 seconds ago) but I just wanted to chime in that nothing I've ever seen from you has left me with anything but admiration and respect, and I say that as someone who's had his own spats with some of the other moderators. It's hard to thank people over the internet, but for whatever it's worth: thanks for everything, and I (and I'm sure many others) wish you the best moving forward. | |

| Sep 30, 2019 at 4:09 | comment | added | Jason Bassford | @MonicaCellio If you are allowed to run again, I'm sure the community would vote you back. As far as I know, you've done a fantastic job. Those who took away your status did not speak for the vast majority of the users here. | |
| Sep 29, 2019 at 16:51 | comment | added | user204841 | @MonicaCellio I am appalled by how you were treated. I am so sorry this happened. | |
| Sep 29, 2019 at 16:48 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | In fact, if a moderator sanctioned a user (like suspending) not for any problem behavior but merely for suspicion of future problems, the CMs would have a word with that moderator. Moderators are told to respond to actions, but SE didn't follow that policy here. We're supposed to assume good intent, but I was not given a chance to demonstrate goodwill through my actions. | |
