So, since chatter about the mod policies/etc seems to occasionally clutter up the social threads, which isn't really helping anyone, let's try giving it a separate thread.
Ask questions, suggest things, etc. Let's just keep it here instead of polluting the other threads, where there's a lot of people who could not care less (and shouldn't have to).
And it should go without saying, but behave yourselves.
How accurate is communication between mods when an action that requires everyone's consultation has to be taken?
Cause, from past interactions, it appears there's a lot of word of mouth, which isn't too great. Telephone games have been the bane of this website lately, someone telling someone something and at the other end it's become a totally different narrative as it passes through people.
edit: sorry for asking a seriuos question, I didn't realize it was a thread for people to bs in

Serious questions are ok too! That actually is the point, but I don't mind some jokes on top of it.
So, there's a lot of telephone, you're right. It's gotten better; a lot more focus on getting the actual text of things (like PMs) and working from the source material, as opposed to "well Bob said that Jim told Sarah that...". There's a mod-only section of the forums and a google hangout, and I try to share full text whenever I have it.
But yes, it's not been a strong point in the past. I've tried to do better about that, and there's always room to improve.
We might have to cut down on that! I don't know what will happen if we keep stroking his ego too much...
It's honestly kind of uncomfortable, and I do wish it would stop. I appreciate the praise, but not at the expense of the other current and former moderators.

The truth is that it's often not actually that people want to praise you but rather take a snip at the other ones.
