Please forgive my grammar, I am on voice to text right now responding to this.
just throwing in my two cents on this particular issue, pretty much the entire discord team wanted to resign that night. What has changed is that discord staff aren't being threatened with legal action for not abusing our discord helper powers. Although that turned out to not be the reality, it sure seemed like we were being threatened that night.
in terms of toxic backlash I'm aware that he received a decent amount of it the other day, because he dared enforce the rules according to the guidelines. He handled the backlash with a high level of maturity, while keeping his neutrality towards those giving backlash.
bot and I have had several conversations regarding the future of discord and we've come up with a lot of ideas. A lot of bots efforts in terms of improving discord often go unseen by non-discord staff. but has done extensive work on improving the discord bots that we have as well as working with me to develop suggested rule changes. He has done a great job of moderating the discord with proper restraint, yet enforcing the rules within the guidelines. Outside of persons who are currently admins, bot should be thrown into the conversation for discord admin. He already acts as a moderator in all respects except for rank.

TL,DR: giving bot the role of moderator would simply reflect the work bot is already doing in discord.

+1

I mean to be fair, if you go back to the thread I had said more than 3 times that no one was threatening legal action, and so did Nicky.

Also, it's great that he's been working on the-low to make the discord a better place, but if all these suggestions etc are done behind closed doors, it's not a surprise that "non-discord staff" don't notice it. If no one sees it besides a select few, no one can comment on that, regardless of how extensive / great it is.

That aside, since I don't want to lose focus on the topic at hand, I'm tossing a +0 (as much as some members hate that). He already resigned due to "stress" and I'm not sure anything has changed. I really don't see if he couldn't handle the trolling and the stress that came with being a discord helper 3 weeks ago, how anything changed. The discord is the same as it was 3 weeks ago.
