Sounds to me that sometimes the community needs to actually see the consequences of mods leaving? Because a lot take the attitude of who needs mods just open it up.
And sticking to the status quo instead of breaking it takes away the chance of something even changing for the better even if the outcome could be worse.
Spez knew what an empty threat most of the mods were making.
Agree. You were faced with a horrible choice and the only way to make it would be done in solidarity with all the other mods. BUT. If the intent was to truly make an impact to the wider user base, maybe walking away and starting over would have been a potential way to demonstrate not only to the admins but also to the users that you were unwilling to take any more BS. Just like other users who are walking from the platform. It may take a while but once everything sucks, users will eventually come searching for a new, not sucky home. If you have one available they will find it.
