  "textContent": "> As someone who has, in the past, moderated a small online community _(at the request of the community owner),_ I have immense appreciation, empathy, and sympathy for moderators of any online community _(including Privacy Guides)._\n\nBased on past experiences, I can say admining a mid sized politically tinted forum is hardcore mode. It makes it hard for me resent mods anywhere. There’s always part of me that thinks, “Well, it’s not like _I’m_ going to moderate this thing.”\n\nI rather find privacy guides to be more like a master class of respectful communication, especially in official privacyguides.org content, but really in general. I would love to do that well in other aspects of my life.\n\nNot to say people can’t request clarity or that mistakes don’t get made- they do by anyone- but it would be good for forum members to have in mind what goes into a forum like this. 100% transparency or consistency is not going to be possible for every mod action. Otherwise the forums would be overrun with spam and flaming whilst mods engage in constant internal discussions and moderation press briefings.",
