OK guys? What's going on?

[Vinayaka]

Hi Vinayaka. My main reason for creating this thread was to get a clearer ideas of what the problems are and see who feels how about what (if that makes sense).

Most of what I've heard here and in Site feedback just confirms a lot of things that I already suspected. Appointing DIR-specific moderators would be a radical departure from our regular policies and tbh, it isn't likely to happen. One thing that I'm predicting will happen though is our hiring a new Hindu moderator. Like you said, a big part of the problem is that there isn't anyone of the currently active staff who has a comprehensive understanding of the finer points of Hinduism, so it's hard (sometimes impossible) for us to differentiate between posts that reflect certain non-universal tenets, and those that directly conflict with accepted Hindu beliefs.

By the same token we don't understand the connotations of certain terms so it's hard for us to determine whether or not something was meant as an insult.

Anyway, hiring a new mod who does have a comprehensive understanding of the religion is one step that we should be able to take pretty easily and fairly quickly. I'm actually going to get the ball rolling on that right now.

Thank you. How do I access site feedback?

Friend Quagmire,

if you could start a thread in Site feedback about this we could discuss it in more detail.

Already done!
