#71: IRC SIG reform ---------------------+--------------------- Reporter: be0 | Owner: Status: new | Priority: normal Component: General | Resolution: Keywords: | ---------------------+--------------------- Comment (by kevin): Replying to [comment:7 bex]: > A few ideas came out of the council meeting. Your feedback and comments are greatly appreciated: > > * What if we split moderation and ops duties. Under this model, ops does technical work and enacts moderator decisions that require privileges as needed. Moderators would be drawn from ambassadors, diversity and commops. The groups are already charged with helping with friendliness and accessibility. Those groups would need to decide how to determine who is a moderator and for how long. > > * Assuming a moderator/ops split, ops could serve as an in the moment reality check for moderator decisions. I fear this would be pretty complex and lead to situations where one or the other group is not around and no action is taken, or the process bypassed. > * Consider guidelines for how to log problems and Code of Conduct violations. Consider anonymized external reporting. Sure, but again, I think this could get too complex... we do have the logs in the bot currently. If we made sure annotations are in there would that be enough? > * Hold annual elections (or release cycle elections) for ops. I don't think thats a good way to go about things. It could lead to people voting for whoever they think (or know) would let them get away with things, would cause more voter fatigue, and seems out of place for a technical position. Now, I don't want to be all negative here, and I am personally not adverse to change. Some more ideas I'll toss out: * Since the irc sig doesnt have too many active members these days and currently only meets when we have open tickets, perhaps we could pull them into the commops meetings/list. Just have a section to discuss issues there and increase visibility to perhaps bring in more active people. * If we can get folks from ambassadors, diversity and commops interested in helping out in channel perhaps come up with some way to promote from them to ops after they have proven they will be around and are suited for/interested in doing that. I really think the best way to improve friendlyness is not by increasing enforcement or punishment, but by simply having lots more friendly people around. So, I am personally also very much in favor of trying to increase the helpfull, friendly people in channel. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/71#comment:9> council <https://fedorahosted.org/council> Fedora Council Public Tickets _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list -- council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to council-discuss-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
