We've recently went through a series of intense EA controversies. I get the sense that many EAs have found EA discussion on these to be exhausting and disappointing.
Whatever the details of the current controversies, I think it's clear there's improvement to be made. This could be a good time to reflect on what would be useful.
I don't want to comment on the heated topics of the day, so let's assume that these changes will only be applies to future topics, no matter what those might be.
Yea. I like the idea of more/better moderation. I would note that it's a pretty thankless+exhausting job (many thanks to the current mods), so one big challenge is finding people strong enough, trusted enough, and willing to do it.
