Hopefully, dev won't end up needing moderated after all, after project is |
| 23 |
up and running well, and the outgoing council decides to take a pass on |
| 24 |
it at their last (August) meeting, both to let that happen, and to let |
| 25 |
the new council make that decision. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
project will ideally reduce dev traffic by half, possibly more, if people |
| 28 |
can self-moderate, thus hopefully eliminating the need for moderation. |
| 29 |
Given the controversial aspect, if self-moderation can work, it'd be |
| 30 |
better to keep it to that. |
