Yea that's a feature of the software we use. We might change it in the future, but right now I don't think we'll be making mod decisions we don't want public.

Postmill was built for leftists over at raddle, who were angry at various reddit dramas, so all mod actions are public and mods can't add and remove other mods. They hold votes for the latter, and depending on the results the admins go and make the change.

It's kind of weird but I think it's fine. If you need to add a mod to your forum just ask one of us admins.

Another great feature of postmill is that mods can ban themselves from their own forums.

You could do that on Reddit too! I think I broke the "not enough wows" rule on r/shibe a hundred years ago and lost the coin toss but I banned myself before any of you suckers could have the satisfaction >:) at least that's how I remember it

I completely forgot about the coin toss rule!!! all these memories coming back.

I do value that there is some social software somewhere that has been explicitly designed to avert drama. Lot of it is indeed structural IMO.

It says I can't create forums yet; what do i need to do to be able?

Your account needs to be 24h old to make a forum.

I give up these rules and regulations are stifling my creativity im gonna spin up my own jst_pst.net >:(
