A Note about Moderation

Hi all,

I wanted to make a post regarding moderation here on in the community and how I think we should be moderating here.

First, I want to give a bit of a background on myself. I am a former video game community manager and have worked on various community related projects in the past. I am currently server as a Marketing/Community Manager for an indie game known as Star Oath. I also currently run a Red Sox fan server on Discord and have done plenty of community related projects in the past.

I have been pretty vocal on how moderation should be handled on the internet, and have said a lot of opinions on how moderation should be here on Digg as well. As of now, I will need a few moderators to help with this cause. No moderator applications will be had nor will I be choosing anyone at the moment since the tools to add moderators are still not implemented on Digg as of yet, I will make further announcements as time rolls on and they implement those tools.

I do just want to mention that moderation will be transparent and all moderator actions will be public knowledge here on Digg. I want you all to know how I'm doing as a moderator and I do want feedback at all times. I may be the "founder" of this community, but I also want to make sure you are all being heard and that you have a say on how this community is run. The reason is: this is YOUR community too, and I want to ensure it stays that way.

If you have any questions for me or just want to provide feedback and have a discussion about how moderation is handle here, please feel free to reach out to me or just reply below.

Updated rules and guidelines will be added by the end of day tomorrow. I'm still writing down some basic ones at the moment and, unfortunately, being able to update the community settings is borked at the moment. But, once they work, you will see the side panel to the right being updated with the guidelines.

Thank you so much and please enjoy the community!
