| Mar 10, 2021 at 11:22 | comment | added | ChrisW Mod | @8527 I seem to read a slightly different message in that the sutta -- that an Ariya will speak, and if someone simply but repeatedly contradicts what they say then they won't argue; that the Buddha may reprove someone; and that someone ought to feel compassion (and not just watch it happen), if someone is being harassed. Be that as it may (interpreting the sutta) I interpret my job as being to keep users from harassing each other. The way SE is formatted, each answer independently focuses on answering the original question -- not a "discussion", with some focus on contradicting other answers. | |

| Mar 10, 2021 at 8:41 | comment | added | user8527 | In the end you get discord in the community, wrong answers from low/wrong information members challenge experts who are of course the backbone of the community. This will eventually drive the experts away, not create new experts and effectively ruin your community. | |
| Mar 10, 2021 at 8:33 | comment | added | user8527 | Do you not realize that these people are the most destructive to the community? Not only do they give wrong advice but they appear authoritative to those who are new and fuck up the process by which a new [unlearned] person develops expertise as to become a valuable asset to the community which makes those learners even more taxing than they ought to be on the community. | |
| Mar 10, 2021 at 8:27 | comment | added | user8527 | In regards to this: "It's also true what you say, that experienced users will learn to post in a way that doesn't get deleted or suspended by moderators. From my selfish perspective -- i.e. as a moderator who wants to do little -- that's actually something of an improvement, i.e. compared to posts which must be deleted or which require the user to be suspended." | |
