Jacob, that is not bad news, that is catastrophic news. Surely the so-called "moderation team" should be neutral too. Why is the so-called "moderation team" not being neutral?
On one hand it's the lack of volunteers and on the other it's difficulty of finding suitable candidates,
I have not seen a call for volunteers, nor have I seen a profile for suitable candidates. That might explain why they are difficult to find :-) However, it does not explain why our so-called "moderation team" is not being neutral.
The moderation team is also not public enough right now and requires a wiki page that I didn't have the time to set up.
Surely the "moderation team" would have an interest in doing that themselves.
I have discussed this a little bit with some mods and the board during oSC23, and hopefully we can work on this and arrive at something a bit more functional though.
Not to be too picky, but you did not actually answer my question. Being neutral seems to me to be one key quality any moderator absolutely must possess. Assuming you are right in your observation about their lack of neutrality, I suggest the so-called "moderation team" be dismissed forthwith and a new one appointed in due course.
