progWell, the moderator of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
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:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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?

Date: 2005-12-11 02:26 am (UTC)Never a good situation. Sorry I don't have any *useful* suggestions. I suppose a note to lj_abuse might be worth a shot...that's a pretty clear case of moderator abuse / power going to one's head.
