I'm not happy with how the Wil Wheaton situation was resolved. An admin was overwhelmed with frivolous reports about him and felt forced to exile him. I've said before that I think it sets a dangerous precedent on how a large group of people can mobilize to drive anyone off the fediverse. Mob rule is universally dangerous: Mods and admins must examine evidence and decide based on wrongdoing and danger, and not on how many times someone was reported.
@Gargron
I agree.
But moderation time is an inelastic resource. How can we better support admins who find this sort of workload dropped in their laps? Is there anyway we can build a buffer into the software?
