Well, the moderator of

davis_square just put the community on approved-posts-only lockdown after a few people offered criticism of her management style. She also deleted several people's comments, and is presently declaring to be close to deleting the community altogether. I consider this behavior a breach of the social contract inherent in any moderated message board's user/admin relationship, and reason enough to just drop the joint and move on elsewhere.

However, it is a useful and friendly LJ-community -- much (more reliable / less idiotic) than, say,

b0st0n -- and I wouldn't want to lose it, nor see it splinter off into wee fragments. Any suggestions from the crossover portion of my f-list on how to follow up on this?

Update:

daerr just pointed out that

davissquare now seems to exist, created by

komos, whom I don't know. I don't know if this person took part in the meta-discussion on the first community since that all got blown away... any insight?

Actually, I explicitly didn't want to be -- I just wanted someone who did want to do the work to be allowed to do so. I'd do it if I had to, but I think there are plenty of others who are actually happy to do it. :)

But yay! Glad there's a new one with a good name. I suggest advertising it (behind a cut of course) on d_s once posting is open again. And spread the word until then. :)
