There there... we don't love you any less because we're cross with each other.

But uhhh. I know this is weird, since this is a thread about mods, BUT WHERE IS THE MOD TELLING US TO COOL OFF?!

As others have pointed out better than I have, and as I have been saying for hours now, you DO know how we will behave. These guidelines do not provide any new information in that regard. I know you're about to say, "but I don't know that if I can't see it," but see Marcuse's point about security risks, and beyond that, it makes no logical sense to trust that we will provide you with our real full unedited guidelines but not trust what we say about them, unless you think we are idiots who don't know what we have written and don't understand the legalese of it.

DamianaRaven wrote:Mr. Citizen just did exactly that, Avi. Are you going to thank him now or continue bitching? I can affirm (if it's all right with Tess) that these are, in fact, the "Secret Moderator Guidelines." The only thing missing is one rule about moderators bickering with one another (as opposed to disagreeing in a debate scenario) where the community can watch, take sides, and egg it on. I think that's less about Secret Mod Policy and more about good manners.

Kate referred to secret ones we would never see. It would be nice if she or another moderator who has been a moderator more recently would confirm those distinctions.
