That's the price we pay for being human. Don't beat yourself up, Tex, for making the best decisions you could in a situation you had no actual power over and no fellow mod around to discuss with. And that goes for all our mods who have on occasion to make difficult decisions in a forum with no formal posting or moderation guidelines (note: meego.com is creating guidelines before the crowds arrive for exactly this reason).

There are no formal qualifications for the post of mod. What we need is people who care passionately about the community and want the very best for it. After that, the ability to stay calm under pressure, make judgement calls and defend why you made them, and consider that sometimes you might have done better are the qualities we need. In all these Tex excels.

Personally, I think losing Tex from the mod team would be a tragedy for this place. But I admit to being biased. I suggested on twitter last night that we consign yesterday to the crack in the universe and unwrite it as it never really happened: I stand by that suggestion.
first time I fully agree with you. Hoping too a black hole coming and deleting some post (including some of myself)
But perhaps that ones must be there to help us (ALL of us) to remember this week and learn of all this mess.
AND DONT BE HARD WITH MY BAD ENGLISH KATHY!

This is a Opensource Project not some corporate ****.
How many of you have heard of Leak build of "Linux Kernel","Gnome","KDE" or some other opensource product.

This community has failed in handling this project. Instead of trying to give daily build we are fighting over a leak build this is a very sad thing.

Texrat can be supported later first try keep maemo in good state.

Why don't the moderators write the messages too -- it would save the rest of us a lot of trouble.
can you write up a Brainstorm proposal for that?

I hope you stay as a moderator Texrat - one of the few voices of common-sense round here!

QFT.

Kudos to Texrat. I hope he won't resign, Maemo community needs more helpful and nice people, not to lose them.

This community has not been chartered to "handle this project". We are voluntary support. Maybe joining the effort would be a good outlet for your frustration.
