It seems to me (coming in very late to the situation) that what we have here is a case of very rapid decisions being made at an administrative level. This makes sense, y’all are fighting fires and dealing with issues you didn’t expect. This is understandable. Expected, even. It’s unreasonable to assume you will have a consistently perfect handling of individual issues. However, much like you are implementing solutions on the backend to shore up your instance, you need to be implementing solutions to your processes as administrators as well.
To that end, let’s try to actually get some transparency out of a transparency post.
If discussion on content policies is ongoing, when can we expect an update from the admin team, either on the current/ongoing status of the discussions or about changes to the policy?
Are there specific items from the new content policy which are presently being discussed to a greater or lesser degree?
Can the admin team commit that in the future they will announce these rules/policy changes prior to implementation in order to solicit community feedback, unless a legal/technical circumstance prohibits it?
