Dear Tills,
Thank you for voicing your concerns about our moderation practices. We understand the importance of cultivating an open, supportive, and welcoming environment within our forum. Effective moderation is essential to promote constructive dialogue and ensure adherence to our community guidelines. While our aim is to minimize unnecessary intervention, we recognize that moderation is occasionally required to prevent conflicts from escalating.
Please be aware that our moderators, who engage in the forum using a single account just like any other member, may not always be acting in an official capacity. If you have felt our moderation approach to be overly restrictive, we extend our sincerest apologies. We are dedicated to achieving a balanced moderation strategy and genuinely appreciate your suggestions on how we can enhance our community. We ask for everyone's patience and goodwill towards one another during this process.
Your input is immensely valuable, and we encourage you to participate in discussions on topics that resonate with you. It is noteworthy, however, that your contributions have predominantly critiqued site policies that are no longer in effect, and staff. We kindly suggest moving beyond past those grievances to enrich your forum experience by engaging with a wider array of discussions in the future.
Sincerely,
