Is the mod team also.considering discussing priorities of the community with members? I.e. who should be getting public Slapdowns when a person who makes other people feel unsafe, as reported to mods previously, continues to engage in same behavior and is called out by a crip who's tired of it?
Y'all changed the beta rules after the last time this was brought up. I don't think piecemeal rule alterations is the way to go here.
I know I'm not the only one who has problems with a non-disabled person repeatedly trying to use a disability-centric community as a forum for research. I'm just a real easy scapegoat for mods, because I will get confrontational.
If no mods are willing to address someone who has become a problem, but are willing to repeatedly cut and paste condescending warnings to me, even when I go out of my way to actually educate someone as to what the problem with their behavior is, then perhaps y'all need to find someone for the mod team who is less conflict-avoidant. Transparency on what process the mods intend to use would be nice, too. Lack of transparency fosters distrust rather than engagement.
Finally, this policy of "you are responsible for avoiding offensive material and if you don't respond in a way we find acceptable, we will ban your ass on arbitrary and discretionary grounds which you may not appeal" is a) ugly and b) given the timing feels like an asshole passive aggressive threat aimed directly at me. If you would prefer I leave the community rather than asking mods to step up and take responsibility and when they don't, telling the non-disabled person who thinks we're here for her pleasure to knock it off, say so. If no one is comfortable saying so, See previous note regarding getting a mod who is capable of tactful confrontation.
