Friendly reminder to be nice to your moderators and admins, but especially the moderators. Usually, they're not waking up each morning saying to themselves "how can I make people's lives difficult/fuck up their day today?" Moderation is hard, and the bigger the size of the server/platform the harder it gets, up to the point where it's impossible to do well at scale. Wrong calls/mistakes are going to be made. Best that can be hoped for is that mistakes are recognized and corrected quickly.
@arush moderators are also front-line and often volunteers even if the people they serve aren’t. Treat your first responders well and try to be understanding when they’ve just had to deal with a pile of trouble first thing in the morning. If a mod makes a mistake (mistakes can happen to anyone), being civil and working together to set things right goes a long way.
@arush Good points. @tchambers
@arush having a discussion, not a dogpile usually helps too.
@olavf Yeah this too.
