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?

nor see it splinter off into wee fragments.

Yesterday I did register

davis_people, out of the same frustration everyone else is feeling, but I'd be more than willing to delete it and go with

davissquare if it means we could all have a comfortable place together to communicate.

I'll also offer work as a maintainer!

And vice versa. I'm not terribly invested in being the community's 'grey emminence,' but I've lost all confidence in the current mod. I just want a sane space to go to.

Yes. Let's use yours, since the name "davissquare" is closer to the original.
