Hi @Phoenix_Rising ..... ☔️☔️☔️
I am hearing you .... but I am also seeing this differently ..... please hear me for a moment, and I hope it will help .....
The moderators are watching over the ocean .... it is safe to be here .....it is safe, and that hasn’t changed.
The @ Moderator feature was put into place for emergency use .... and primarily for mobile phones where the “Report Insppropriate Content” button was not available @- this also flags a moderator, as does @- mentioning their user name .... but the @ Moderator function was only ever intended for use when crisis action was required ..... I know that much from conversations around the use of it.
You are feeling in crisis now, I know, and that was triggered by the Facebook article (which I have not read), followed by not being able to access distress support through the @ Moderator function ...... and I am guessing that perhaps whoever is on duty is not one of the mods who knows typos well enough to realise how quickly things can escalate from distress to crisis for you .....
I am telling you all this because I know you have a very black and white functioning brain that likes to have clear information as a basis for decision-making, and 8 hope what I have written is clear.
It doesn’t solve the problem of the Facebook article, but I hope it helps to calm the Forumland ocean waves down a bit for you ..... and you have a flotilla of friends out here on the ocean now with you ..... this little dolphin with her purple umbrella included .....
