I think we all do. > I have had substantial online community development experience. Great. > If there must be moderators I recommend as soft touch as much as possible. I think it’s more about being consistent, transparent and respectful. Effective moderation should be all but invisible. > As I said before if you take away responsibility people tend to be less > responsible. I have a sense you’re getting at something here. If you’re talking about the recent change to moderation permissions, I think it’s clear that that was a mistake, but the main observation is that it caused confusion for users, and that’s why I changed it as soon as I discovered the problem. > If we have a team of moderators I suggest an independent private group so in > rare occasions of issues and contention it can be discussed offline a little > more frankly without accidently offending people. I’d much, much prefer not to have a private group. Transparency and openness are critical, we can’t sacrifice them to avoid accidentally offending people; we do that by being respectful and putting ourselves in the other persons shoes. > Such a team should ultimately publish guidelines rather than laws.

What would be the distinction between a guideline and a law?
