| Oct 25, 2019 at 11:36 | comment | added | ChrisW | I think moderators are considered a special case -- I think that moderators are now explicitly required to be willing, to use [neo]pronouns, whereas regular users are not required (link) | |
| Oct 25, 2019 at 10:26 | comment | added | Marc.2377 | @MonicaCellio Fun fact. Have you have seen the SEDE queries on how rare are third-person pronouns over the network? | |
| Oct 24, 2019 at 9:10 | comment | added | user | Forget the rule lawyering, the CoC is fine and clear. | |
| Oct 24, 2019 at 7:11 | comment | added | Gloweye | As long as SE refuses to inform Monica about what statement of hers contained the CoC violation, it's completely irrelevant that mods are held to a higher standard. | |
| Oct 24, 2019 at 3:48 | comment | added | Ramhound | @JohnOmielan - Fat chance of that ever happening. Stack Exchange does not seem to want to answer that question. There actions speak louder than the hundreds of words they have made public. | |
| Oct 24, 2019 at 2:19 | comment | added | John Omielan | @MonicaCellio I believe it's important to get this issue clarified, not only for you but for anybody else who is a moderator, or even considering being one. If I get any kind of official response to my answer in that other post, I'll update my answer here accordingly & let you you know as well. | |
| Oct 24, 2019 at 2:14 | comment | added | John Omielan | @JourneymanGeek I agree, which is why those 2 statements appear to me to be at least somewhat contradictory, and I asked for this to be clarified. | |
| Oct 24, 2019 at 2:12 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek | Moderators are pretty much regular users too. | |
| Oct 24, 2019 at 2:11 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | "It's actually pretty rare to need third-person pronouns at all" is, quite possibly word for word, something I've been saying all along. And my standard writing doesn't "conspicuously" avoid anything; I'm not a bad writer and the clunky examples people come up with don't apply. If I were to actually violate this policy then someone should have words with me about it, but presuming that I'm incapable of following it feels rather...pre-emptive. Which is how we got here in the first place. (The story about why I was fired changed along the way.) | |
