Repost: Note from the Management
This is the journal of holyoffice, one of the moderators of catholicism. If you have any questions or comments about that community that require a moderator's attention, you can contact me by leaving a comment on this journal.
Being a moderator in a Livejournal community is fun and rewarding. Not everyone can claim they've had the glamorous experience of being called a fascist hater of free speech for asking grown men and women not to hurl playground epithets at each other.
Another perk: people who demand a moderator smash their online enemies are often enraged when the moderator instead tries be a calm and polite adult. Then, the full fury of the complainant is turned on the treacherous moderator, with his disgusting fetish for "reason" and "not being a loudmouthed know-it-all."
Of course, not even moderators are perfect. Sometimes, we think we have convinced antagonistic interlocutors to maintain a bare semblance of decorum, only to find them, moments later, competing with each other to deploy the most creative synonym for "Nazi." If that's the case, and an initial intervention by the moderator is unsuccessful, please don't hesitate to contact me again and point me in the direction of the repeat offender, who may indeed have incurred a temporary ban from the community.
Huuuuugs!,
