Here's an important one: If a moderator is removed without proper process, it makes no sense for them to be subject to any process to get reinstated. The moment it is recognized that proper process wasn't followed, they should simply be reinstated forthwith, with no "process" whatever. You can't correct an error by treating it as if it was a correct action.

I don't trust the company any more. I can't trust that procedure won't be tossed aside. I saw how easily it happened, and how the company dealt with that egregious breach of trust. I can't trust that I won't be subject to libel, and with apparently no consequences whatever for the person who did it. I can't trust that one person's interpretation of what company policy might be won't trump decenct, humane treatment of any long term contributor. I don't trust that lawyers won't be pulled in at the first sight of any difficulty, and they will certainly prevent the company from doing what is right, even if the company were remotely inclined to do something decent.

Again I appreciate the intent. However, I really doubt anyone who hasn't been in the position of helping build a community for several hours a day, every day for many years could really comprehend the level of pain involved, nor how deep the breaches of trust were that precipitated it.
