Ok, well NGL I'm a bit puzzled by that response but glad I could give you a good time ☺️

Oh hello, repost 👋
This is the actual comment that was deleted from the post In question. The mods deleted a single comment as seen below while they tried to figure out how to respond. They followed up with dialogue to the op to contact them directly with any concerns and help on how to contact
March 30, 2025 at 2:12 AM
Well yea, but that's the offending party though?
March 30, 2025 at 2:00 AM
What is drama?
March 30, 2025 at 1:56 AM
Sorry you reached the limits of what you could engage with. And your right, one of us is working on behalf of a community. I think it's responsible fir people manage their own online experiences and only engage with what they enjoy, GOAD will withstand some people disagreeing with what happened
March 30, 2025 at 1:55 AM
Like, what Ice Skating? In Crime? Ineffably? Wedded bliss? I've already stated I know the mods, their lovely people who work hard and really do go all in to play fair. I'm not sure what your gunning for here but this particular tactic isn't going to work as an ad hominem

Yes, the fact that behaviour impacts a procedure for managing public conduct wrapped in a few words is not a judgement on the behaviour itself
March 30, 2025 at 1:46 AM
In fact the entire extent of what you feel is the mods defending the OP is one single mod comment that reminds people to be civil. Can you help me understand how you see it better, I'm a little bit confused?

The post was up for about 8hrs. I'm not sure about timezones and when Z posted Vs the American time zones of an USA mod team of three people who work and have IRL commitment can get together to figure out what went on but that's not unreasonable enough to doubt all possible good faith scenarios
March 30, 2025 at 1:36 AM
Also, the big 'rush of deletions' appears to be one comment. Anyone can see this by looking it up on sites like Reveddit.com
March 30, 2025 at 1:32 AM
The post was taken down and Z was banned. That's just straight up facts

Ox, your thoughts about community worker skill sets while very person centered don't seem to have a lot of experience that underpins the ability to hold multiple conflicting viewpoints simultaneously yet that successful community work requires to be able to make that call. You are passionate though
March 30, 2025 at 1:28 AM
No. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying a group of unpaid people were trying to figure out what to do while having IRL commitments. I mean nothing is deleted on Reddit forever so we need to get receipts out for clarity?
March 30, 2025 at 1:16 AM
The thing is triage here. People, when hurt and scared are terrible at aiming. Their brains scream NOT SAFE. Restoring safety is the priority for anyone feeling like that, not carefully filtering every comment for tone and content, so let's consider for a moment...
March 30, 2025 at 1:13 AM
I think it's been established that things posted on internet messages boards have very real consequences for people irl. What I'm asking you to do is consider the possibility that the mods, caught off guard, were paying more attention to the metaphorical chairs in this scenario
March 30, 2025 at 1:05 AM
Ok, thank you for speaking up then
March 30, 2025 at 12:58 AM
I mean, IRL, I've been in this exact situation many a time (also worth noting in a fully trained, paid capacity) First and foremost, you have to act quickly to keep everyone safe or ppl are gonna start throwing chairs...
March 30, 2025 at 12:57 AM
Yeah, that's a good point. As a seasoned community worker I might offer a little caution on the level of info you do divulge, but no one will fault people wanting an explanation. But what else do you need to do before that?
March 30, 2025 at 12:54 AM
You're not a no one Ox, I know your name on sight from the fics. Your someone who obviously cares about people deeply and feel angry about what seems to have happened if it hurt them. I think it gives you a fair stake here
March 30, 2025 at 12:51 AM
But to explicitly answer your original question there, no it would not feel safe
March 30, 2025 at 12:48 AM
...when they did, the people who had been hurt felt, well exactly as you described. So you have a situation where someone has walked in with no warning, uninvited, everyone's feeling on edge - my question is what do you do next, empathising with the community workers pov?
March 30, 2025 at 12:48 AM
... In one place. Some of those would be interpersonal spats, some of those would be bullying and ostracizng behaviours. We'd ban people when it was warranted. On occasions, someone who has been banned for behaviour that really upset others would come waltzing back in...
