RE: Seeking Reform for SSG-Community Voting Service

[buggedout]

I mean no disrespect @dfinney - I know there was an election some time ago as I supported you becoming a mod. What I meant is that there is no election mechanism. The "owner" is (I believe) @guiltyparties and the other 3 mods all seem to have stepped away. We very nearly had zero active mods due to your own real life challenges recently, through no fault of your own, so the community could easily have been "lost". Thankfully it hasn't.

I think the communities is the start of a good feature but it is so limited with some central points of failure that I don't think we should put all the SGS eggs in that basket right now.

The communities "feature" on Hive is garbage.

but it is so limited with some central points of failure

I am slow and cannot read in between the lines. Like I said, I may not be understanding well because I lack background info. So please... for my benefit, please be clear and direct:

(1)Name the points of failure.

(2) How does the policy changes you have suggested addresses that failure.

1. The community hive is "owned" and has "mods" so it is dependant on them remaining active and acting in the best interests of the community. We have direct experience of what can happen when an "owner" of a community asset does not act in the community interest. It cost us many thousands of $$ in early 2018.

2. It does not address the failure. It avoids it by removing the dependency.
