>If we weren't notified of every small slight, and some didn't receive administrative attention, it wouldn't be the end of the world. And could even be seen as reflecting the values of the community.
*hmmmm, slippery here....if not notified and its not a major faux pas, then thats OK. Cuz people DO have the option to report if it distresses them. If they choose NOT to report...well...then thats that as far as I am concerned, and its not fair to get snarky bout something if they are not willing to act on it. There IS a choice. And this is where it becomes challenging and we have to have faith.......cuz then we have to trust the deps to make the best judgements they can....and if they get only one complaint and it doesn't appear to be a major issue...they may choose to let it go and NOT act on a complaint. At this point we just have to suck it up and move on. Cold perhapsd, but its reality. Life is NOT fair, never was.
QUESTION: I wondered if the deps are going to rteply to all notifications? Seems alot of work..... I had a thot that they could choose to reply to those they are NOT going to act on, cuz then at least the poster who reported at least feels 'heard'. I think this could be quite important to many.>> I am concerned when a former deputy replies to a poster's concerns and it comes across as if there is still "authority" there, why is this?
>Maybe because they really know the rules and how things work?
*Ewww, I agree w/Bob, they reply w/authority cuz they have knowledge.
However, that is a curious point to me, about the confusion over whether a former deputy could report etc....I found that all rather odd....and sure as heck isn't gonna want to make anyone ever even consider being a deputy...
