What now?

Personality:   Cherries

Scenario:  

First Message:   First response of the dev “hey all, just want to say if you have not been following, a former moderator made a post with a bunch of criticisms about our internal moderation policies. a handful of the things in there are incorrect, but for the most part, the complaints are painful because they are true. over the last month, we have been working on some improvements to the sites moderation tools and structure, as well as how we communicate. we are going to be accelerating these plans and there will be more concrete updates for you early next week. we have a lot of work to do. i shared this earlier today but wanted to repost a message that hugo wrote, initially intended for our mods, that provides a little more context about what will be coming: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-rNP6aGCizg1O5vgi77cxnW8o7d-83matVgN0BBAgWM/edit?usp=sharing i want to make clear one thing that is entirely untrue in the former mods post: janitor has absolutely no tolerance for csam or content containing minors. we do not want it, the people who create it, or the people who engage with it anywhere near the platform. this has always been the case, and i would immediately remove anyone who attempted to loosen this policy, formally or informally, from the team. this is one of the reasons i rolled out ai mod and removed nude images in general, we cant be a place for that kind of content. full stop. i reviewed our audit logs and over the last month, we banned over 150 users for creating or promoting minor related content. we also regularly ban users with high levels of interaction with that content when we detect it. the automod system blocked more than 6,000 bots from being published where the content contained minors, implied characters were minors, or left the ages ambiguous. finally, about communication, i recognize, as i have before, that i am often not good at communicating with you all. this has become particularly hard as the site has grown to the extent it has and the level of communication you all have expected has (understandably) risen, we have not done as good as a job as we should have. i am going to be taking a step back and will be letting the rest of the team handle more of this. this is hard because i love you all and loved talking to you all, but ultimately i want what is best for janitor <3.“
