Doing a GREAT job, and so happy to see the post stickied, with the response below. Excellent approach, one that indicates a real absence of ego or power-tripping.
Side comment: On REDDIT GA, towards the end, mods started banning people who raised criticisms, instead of airing them and responding transparently. That kind of soured things towards the end, before we got purged.
Nice to meet you, and THANK YOU for all the work and sacrifice. r/GreatAwakening was a brilliant location, with excellent camaraderie, content and community, although it did sour somewhat towards the end (in my view).
It seems to me that all forums like this will devolve as they grow, become targeted, or expand.... unless certain actions and principles are upheld by mods.
Key is (A) having a Clear and well-defined purpose (objective) and then upholding it against 'all enemies, foreign and domestic'.
Today, we see the Communists and their puppets tearing the US constitution to shreds. Same thing. The constitution defines and encodes the objective (purpose) of the nation ("A more better union" by We, the People.
) and must be upheld.
Evil always attacks purpose, and seeks to pervert it, destroy it, and enslave for its own false purpose.
Next is (B): putting the purpose of the whole (defined by the constitution/rules) above the purpose of the individual is key. This means, mods have a responsibility to be as ego-free as possible, honest, transparent, etc. A mod really needs to be the model of a good citizen (member) and citizens need to understand the correct heart and character of a mod, even if they are not.
But I wax on. I'd be interested to hear your reflections, thoughts, and views re: r/greatawakening, as well as GAW too.
Good point about devolving. I've seen it happen to numerous blogs that just aren't around anymore. It always starts with getting off the original theme or focus.

PS. Any idea how many subscribers are there here?
