So Heddi is dropped from the Mod Squad

[Vanje]

for being honest. Her whistle-blowing broke a confidence agreement, so this is understandable.


But How about those rogue mods she wrote about in her post?
Are they are still out there bending the rules and acting on their own?

Is the whistle-blower the only one who gets demoted?

2. Thanks for the quick response

But I'm still curious as to whether any other changes in mod status will be forthcoming , as a result of Heddi's whistle blowing.

3. You mean will we be firing any other moderators?

We have no plans to do that at this time.

However, as we have been saying for a long time now, DU3 is on the way and will be bringing with it some extremely significant changes to the way the board is moderated. We love our moderators, but I think that we can all agree at this point that the system of moderation we are forcing them to use is just not working for where DU is now, in 2011. One of the reasons we're finding this latest episode so frustrating is that believe it or not most of the issues with moderation that everyone has been fighting over lately will be moot on DU3, which is why we're trying to focus all our attention on getting that finished at the moment.
