The EA Forum’s moderation has a lot more in common with the moderation of the Facebook group than differences.
The EA Forum has had a diverse set of even-handed moderators who deserve much more more thanks and praise than they receive. Currently, Ali Woodman and Rebecca Raible have been doing an excellent job, and previously, so was Marcus Davis, who was working independently. I’ve been occasionally available to chip in throughout. It’s also the case that wherever possible, we either make visible comments or consult directly with the people whose comments are in dispute.
This is definitely true! I think maybe we could potentially add another moderator or two and then empower them to make decisions? And when CEA thinks it would be best to ban someone, they could then discuss it with the moderators rather than discuss it internally.
For reasons of efficiency, I’m pretty averse to letting the team blow out in size but Ali or Rebecca will probably not be available to moderate indefinitely so others are always encouraged to express their interest to us.
