Reply to comment by An_Old_Big_Tree in [PROPOSAL] Moving off-topic conversations to different posts by Fossidarity

I would like to put the energy into it and do it actively. What forum would you recommend for this, /f/discussion, /f/mediation or something else?

I don't recommend you take on draining tasks on your own but if you'd like to that's of course fine. One of the problems with this space is the unequal distribution of workload.

f/discussion sounds fine. Rather than f/discussion you could also the f/lobby as a default (and avoid having another new forum for arguments), but depending on the type of interaction it might be worthwhile to decide on the spot where to send it. It may even be more appropriate for some other forum.

My hope is that it will be a bigger initial effort but that on the long run a culture will be created where the people who've been on Raddle longer take on these tasks themselves.

I've created the /f/discussion forum and made you a mod as well. Should this somehow be part of the ToS?

Wouldn't be for me to decide. If you think it's worthwhile then make a proposal about it.

I generally prefer to keep things informal.

Actually, since f/lobby is featured, I think it's better not to move things there. trying to keep the featured forums low on drama seems desirable.

My idea is to move discussions which end up in name-calling to /f/mediation and other discussions to /f/discussion.
