Recently, the moderation team has taken steps to increase discussion before actions are taken. The goal has been both to increase the objectivity and consistency of the forum's moderation, and to help build consensus among ourselves as to what the forum rules mean and how we enforce them. To reflect this, we've created this new forum account that will be used for many (though not necessarily all) moderation tasks. All forum moderators have access to it, and it will only be used to perform actions which have been discussed and agreed upon.



This does not separate us, individually or collectively, from responsibility for our decisions as moderators. Feel free to PM this account or any of the moderators individually if you have an issue that you would like to discuss.
