That's why I've been the main one responding.

If moderation is only done by people outside of the discussion then that means only those who are completely unfamiliar with the thread will be moderating them.

It's pretty easy to read back a few pages and get a good sense of the context for the report. Also, some mods, like myself, do a lot more lurking then posting. So even if I don't spend a lot of time posting outside Covid thread, I still keep up with a number of DnD threads and am familiar with their discussions.

I cannot remember any such incidents. edit: Also why do I have a dog avatar now? If it is an meme, I would like to understand what it is.

As you can see, all the mods are reading this thread but not necessarily posting. I never posted that much in the first place. If it appears that I am doing more probed than any other mod (I'm not counting) it could be because I'm the only mod not in a North American time zone, so I'm looking at the queue at different time periods than others.

Yeah for example I rarely engage in discussion in CE or China thread but I do have them bookmarked and read or at least skim almost every post, I've done so well before I came on as a mod.

If it does end up getting in the way of moderation i can just reverse it. I do admit it could be viewed as a hard rule attempting to compensate for lack of community trust or mod judgement.

Thank you for the feedback, all. Even though I'm closing the thread my PMs are still open for any concerns you have.
