This is the Moderator Information topic. Each of us have played different
roles in the group, so we have a guide and introduction space here to
make sure any potential issues or fixes are taken care of by the correct
moderator.

Isabella

Isabella is around to keep an eye on the conversations and will not hesitate to
delete hateful comments, so if your comment was deleted without a word, it was
probably her. She is very passionate about sound reasoning, and will request that
you provide a source to back up every claim you make no matter where that claim is
made. She will also likely check your sources and read them in full, so make sure
that you are accurately representing your source material. Any issues can be sent to
her or Rory, not Elizabeth unless stated otherwise.

Rory

Rory is the more chronically online one who will not hesitate to absolutely bonk
someone over the head for being rude or hateful. Passionate if a little aggressive,
she will likely be the one to give someone a good talking to before promptly leaving
to go cry for an hour. She will probably be the only moderator actively taking part in
debates, but Isabella will be watching. Always watching. (view spoiler)[👁️👄👁️ (hide spoiler)] Any issues
can be sent to her or Isabella, not Elizabeth unless stated otherwise.

Elizabeth

Elizabeth is our archivist of sorts. They have helped with the informational aspects
of the group and provided insight only the most ancient beings of us all could. She is
our resident wizened elder (not really) who is mostly here with knowledge that
Isabella and Rory may lack. Please do not bother Elizabeth with disputes in the
debate topics.
