Damn!
I better start cozying up to her pronto!

Alex, did you read any of my comments or is discussing racism more interesting to you?

Yes although you spoke in metaphors so I'm not entirely sure what it means.

As far as my guidelines go, they clarify the fact that people should be able to speak more freely when calling out racism on the site. This is a broadening of permitted speech. I'm not sure how that makes the site more of a clean lawn. If anything that seems like it would make the site more like a forest with diversity and freedom.

Clarifying the fact that racist terms and terms that are used in racist ways are not allowed might minimize the ability of some people to speak freely but they can chose better words that won't hurt marginalized races.

Instead of humiliating someone for an honest mistake, wouldn't it be better to PM them and explain the problem?
Too many people use the public forums to "Power Trip" on others, in a sanctimonious way.
This happened often in the PPR forum when I used to go there.

That is good advice for the future. Thank you.

Wow. Today I woke up a moderator.
Thank you for all the trust you have in me. I hope I can live up to it.
Now I need to read and learn a lot of stuff.

No, it's produce placement.

Congrats on your ascension to modhood, Magz!

Now I'm scared... you know, the reported content is a condensate of horribleness while I have to put some effort into learning tools and guidelines first.
Have patience.

Whatever will transpire in WP in the future, you will definitely be a positive influence magz and the defender of the unjustly accused, whatever their political beliefs may be, and the vulnerable.

Sincerely wishing you harmonious and productive collaboration on the mod team. :heart:

Yes, I saw magz get turned into a mod. I don't know her very well, but I've gained considerable respect for her from the threads here.

The exact same can be said for Teach51. It's also interesting that she's not been around that long, so she must have made quite an impression.

Wolfram87 on the other hand I already have a great deal of respect for. And as a mod, I think he could do exceedingly well. He has a lot of qualities that I think would see him take to being a mod like a duck to water.

All three of you initially pulled out, which (together with the threads here) tells me you're not interested in obtaining personal power, you're interested in helping our community. I for one hope all three of you are moderators when this is over.

Congratulations to magz. I wish you luck.
