Hi,

Don't you think it would be nice if you clarify precisely your decisions about recent bans ?
Who belong exactly to your moderation team ?
Are those moderators coadmin with the same rights than you ?

Hi Vincent,
Yeah. We have a community of peacemakers here and we are committed to upholding our vision and values. For this we have moderators and administrators (consisting of individuals here).

We have developed guidelines and rules for our community. Those whose behavior here is not consistent with our guidelines risk being banned, and that is clarified precisely in our guidelines.

Actually, you just reply to the third question... We know the me-peace "names" of banned members (Yesha is not a real name), so it's not a secret and do you refuse also to introduce moderators to members ? I don't understand...

Yes, that is correct.

Are you aware that 4 words seems a little bit... thin :) and give the impression that you open a conversation where you don't give necessary answers for a correct running of your network... Maybe you don't see that we need transparency to restore trust...

Some questions require four words and others more. Don't worry how it seems. I am here to answer your questions. Ask away. I opened this converstaion because you need transparency for trust.

i don't need long answers, you know, just real answers. I stop now because i'm hungry :) and because i see you don't give answers... So i can't speak with a wall and i can't anymore contribute here without this transparency that you refuse to give to your members... Hope you'll think about it quickly. I stop my participation until you give us a democratic management of your network. Good Luck !

A suggestion box nad complaint box is a great idea. Right now anyone with a suggestion or a complaint can get that to me by clicking on Report an Issue on the bottom of the page.

Hi John,
The ideal of being a self-moderated community is ideal. We're going in this direction. The names of the interaction team members can be seen in our moderation team. I am open to the possibility that the moderators will be revealed, with their permission of course, at a later point.

The reason you stated is a concern and there other concerns, too.

I think you're right. I would like to write more about me, particularly as it relates to this work. I will do this and overcome my concern of revealing too much.

For now, I'll share that I moved from the US to Israel 4 years ago because I felt comfortable here. It was only when I was here that I began to realize the opportunity for making peace.

I will write more about starting mepeace, my inspirations and life experiences. You can call me on that. Some factors for starting mepeace you can find in my profile and in the About Us.

Hi John, thanks for the tip. I will use my blog to share more of myself.

Hi Gad, I agree we are here for peacemaking.

I welcome constructive suggestions for improving our experience. Suggestions can be made in the Contact Us, Report an Issue (on the bottom of this page), and by email.

The forum has different categories dedicated to different matters. I want work to improve this site on this site to flow through our teams (in groups).
