NEAR Community Forum Incident - Overview, Learnings, and Next Steps

Hey!

Thanks for sharing your insights:

Hear you on this, it’s a part of our findings from the NEAR Governance Forum Revamp Plan and we’re working on improving it:

The process for this is illustrated in the Community Guidelines:

However, like I mentioned in this post, we can be doing more to highlight this and clarify it further.

This would make sense, and definitely something we could fold into the improved community guidelines. Generally, it’s as follows:

NEAR Foundation Employees
Community moderators(sherpas)

Interesting! I think, in an effort to make it as simple as possible, it might be easier if we have a one-stop shop of sorts for these types of incidents to be reported. They can be assessed, individually, and the appropriate action can be taken by the appropriate team member or moderator, depending on the context.

Currently, not explicitly although we do expect a level of professionalism from these projects.

That being said, this is something which could be folded into the Mozilla-esque guideline solution proposed here:

The community team does endeavour to make ourselves accessible around the clock. So, although this is certainly implied, it’s definitely not explicit enough in the community guidelines.

Thanks a million for the feedback, appreciate it :raised_hands:

Looking forward to making this place a home for all :beers:
