On an ill-defined aggregate of related policy issues about community
I am so tempted to leave this blank, so some poor sod can make up rhyming couplets. But no: this is about community, about responsibility, about why Barbelith doesn't need to be safe, and why we shouldn't talk as if the people we are talking aobut aren't here. Cuz they are.

Expectations of Barbelith and Barbeloids
Increasingly, we're getting angry/ashamed/disappointed with 'Barbelith', collectively and individually, for failing to meet our expectations. Is this fair? Are our expectations a) realistic, and b) explicit?

The Conversation? HUH? What on earth's it good for?

A gentle reminder about libel...
Barbelith has received its first threatening letter from laywers. I think everything's going to be fine, although I've taken down a few posts on one thread. This thread is for me to let you know what's happened, for you to ask questions and the like. Be warned, however, I'm not able - obviously - to go into enormous detail.

Is there anything I need to know about?
Let me know if there are any large activities that you need any oversight on, or any admin-only actions performed. I'll check in over the next couple of days, and act on anything that seems reasonable.

Should Moderators be able to ban people?
Broadening the scope of moderation powers. Distributed moderation - what it is and how it works. Barbelith group conscience, and how to decide what we, as a community, feel is and is not acceptable. Questions: Should Mods be able to ban? Should they be able to enact some kind of lesser consequence? Subquestion: What kind of lesser consequence?

Barbelith doesn't get mad, it gets locked
Some dick calls himself something insensitive and barbelith unites. But now anything that even looks slightly dodgy gets locked, and I can't handle this shite. Discusions on the topic of near the line humor and the effects it has on Barbelith.
