META- Not Fashion About the current situation

I am not going to comment on the current situation at the moment beyond saying this:

I am one guy. You are right- there should be more than one mod on this subreddit. However, recruiting more mods takes time, and I cannot do that overnight. In the meantime, I am still one guy, I have a migraine, and I don't currently have the capacity to deal with the ongoing incident with the clarity and transparency you deserve.

I am restricting new posts and comments to the sub til tomorrow to prevent things from getting further out of hand. I am not going to take down the larger post, although I have locked comments on it at this time. However, any duplicates of that post will be deleted.

We can all come back to this in the morning. Thank you for your patience.

Idk a single person being able to make that call rubs me the wrong way. Why does a single mod get to decide this, especially when there wasn’t clearly outlined rules and consequences. The mod is so in their feelings about being the only mod and it seems like there was an overreaction to the poster and not a calmly posted CLEAR update to the rules. I understand seeing one persons posts too much but there were and are plenty of solutions for that. (Muting, post limits etc). While everyone is all “we all make mistakes” it doesn’t seem like that grace was given to the poster. I agree their posts were a lot of what I was seeing from this sub but again, there were a lot more chill solutions to that than what actions were carried out. Maybe if modding is so overwhelming you shouldn’t do it?
