The news mod team has asked to no longer be a part of the project until we have a composite tool that polls multiple sources for a more balanced view.
It will take a few hours, but FOR NOW there won’t be a bot giving reviews of the source.
The goal was simple: make it easier to show biased sources. This was to give you and the mods a better view of what we were looking at.
The mod team is in agreement: one source of truth isn’t enough. We are working on a tool to give a composite score, from multiple sources, all open source.
You think that’s all legit? I don’t see permaban levels of rule breaking at all there. More admin and moderator boneheadedness causing mild irritation with users. You’re asking for feedback, then ignore most of that feedback, and now ban disagreement because they’re understandably frustrated with your responses.
