| Jul 19, 2016 at 9:04 | comment | added | Marius | I stand by my point. My vote (if moderator) counts the same as a non-moderator when it comes to changes in the rules. If the community decides that we need a change I will support it, but I will not push for it if SE says no. but if a change happens I will embrace it. | |
| Jul 19, 2016 at 8:53 | comment | added | CodeNewbie | I think we can agree to disagree on #9. Regarding #1, I would really urge you to reconsider your position. "The focus should be to make sure that the game is played by the rules." makes you sound more dictatorial, whereas I always see SE as a democratic entity. And in any democracy, the constitution is always open for changes, whenever the majority deems it necessary. And as a moderator, you will be a voice of the community. | |
| Jul 19, 2016 at 8:47 | comment | added | Marius | @CodeNewbie First of all, thanks for reading my post. And about #9. that is my opinion. I was trying to say, that I will/should not be biased when I see the name of a user in a post based on his previous posts. I will not develop a grudge against someone just because that person had a series of bad posts. But you are entitled to your view on this. If this is not ok with you, then vote for someone that has the same views as you. I can accept and respect that. In my defense, I did mention that I will resort to temporary suspension for repeated offenses. | |
| Jul 19, 2016 at 8:44 | comment | added | Marius | @CodeNewbie. I don't want to be misunterstood. I was saying that the main focus of a moderator should not be to change the rules of the game. The focus should be to make sure that the game is played by the rules. | |
| Jul 19, 2016 at 8:44 | comment | added | CodeNewbie | 9. I disagree with "Don't moderate the person, moderate the content." The content is definitely important but that is not what the community is about. SE websites thrive on a community-based moderation model and if you feel that ironing out the rough edges of the community is not a priority, then that doesn't sit well with me. | |
| Jul 19, 2016 at 8:38 | comment | added | CodeNewbie | 1. "Let's just take the SE rules as the laws of physics that we cannot bend and do the best we can with these." For those of us who have been around SE for long, we know that nothing is written in stone. As Heraclitus said, "Everything changes and nothing stands still." And PuzzlingSE too has evolved with time. I can understand if you do not support these changes and I hoped that any nominee who would not support it could provide reasons to maintain the status quo. | |
