We receive a lot of reports from this community, and we get the impression that the current rules and moderation capabilities aren’t sufficient for a community like this. While things are quieter right now, during periods of activity this community tends to cause unnecessary strain on the lemmy.ca admin team.

Having additional moderators could help with this, as well as having a more comprehensive set of rules. That way, the community’s mod team can go through the queue more quickly and also take action on users that abuse the reports.

For the sake of a productive discussion, please limit comments in this thread to discussions on how to improve this community, without directly pointing to specific users or situations. Ideally, this will also help to develop better rules (think ‘veil of ignorance’).
