Meeting Notes:
Outcome: Passed ✅
Outcome Summary
This proposal passed, and moderator rights were limited to the taskforce (currently Kris, Alp, Dexter & Derek, with Kyle, Kevin, Kris, Scott, & Derek as Admins)
Proposal
Proposal 1: moderator rights
  • Tension: Right now we have 17 moderators.
    • This weekend we had our first bot social engineering its way in and @ everyone many channels. High security risk.
    • Not practical when many automations & uniformity being implemented (roles, channel naming & logic...)
  • Proposal: Limit moderator roles to taskforce only (atm Kris, Alp, Dexter & Derek - also Kyle, Kevin, Kris, Scott, Derek are Admins). Tackle the two main needs (creating channels & assigning roles) by giving these powers to the 'WS'-Ops role.
    • Would execute on this as soon as
      • ops roles powers have been reviewed/adjusted
      • moderators have all been notified
    • Next:
      • training community managers
      • hire part-time to fix possible issues, set up future automations
  • Clarifying Questions
    • Moderator on call? this is in the making
    • Power to add to channels? yes, this is role based
  • Reactions
    • Kyle: Highly in favor of locking down moderator access. Cleaned up, also other people who had mod access. We can take 24h to add a bot.
    • Annika: in support, before we yolo'd this
    • Sean: in support, we can do all the things we need to do
    • Kevin: Proposal
    • Joe: support
    • Philip: In support of this
  • Amend & Clarify:
    • You can create channels with the 'WS-Ops' channels but please don't abuse this power :)
  • Objections
    • no
  • Proposal passed?
    • Yes
