Dharma Of Beneficial Speech List Moderation Excerpt from Abhayarajakumarsa Sutta Thich Nhat Hanh on Right Speech List Moderation UZendo is a moderated list, but NOT the sort where messages are reviewed prior to distribution. ANY message posted by a list subscriber is distributed to all list members.
Moderators are there to set the tone of the list with 'gentle nudges' and to answer questions.
On some rare occasions member subscriptions have been terminated by the moderators. The grounds for termination have been disruptive, off-topic posts which are intentionally hurtful to other list members. A warning will always be given before a subscription is revoked. If we speak from this place then we create safety, knowing that any hurt we may experience is a matter of misunderstanding or ignorance, not intention. If we are hurt or angered by something we read, we will wait before we respond, first thinking about the impact and usefulness of our words.
