What do I hope to get out of modding this community: Hoping to "clean up" the advice being given to people who are asking for help, make sure people are getting safe and appropriate advice, and also to be able to help people with their problems, empower them to help themselves.
So myself and four other people took over modding a really busy community a couple of months ago. We revamped the look and layout, and started creating more rules and structure.
I'm noticing lately, a lot of deleted comments and replies in threads. I suspect it's people who know they aren't following the rules and don't want to be told off or have their post deleted, etc. I was wondering if there's a way to keep replies and comments from being deleted, or to have a copy of them emailed to the mods? I checked in the community settings, and it looks like it's already set up to email comments to the community's main email address. But that isn't happening... And it's a gmail account, so I don't think it would filter out stuff from LJ.
I really want to keep track of what people are saying, in case they are being snarky and deleting it, or violating the community rules, and need to be banned. We've had a few people causing trouble who didn't like the new rules and structure, so it's an ongoing issue.
I appreciate any help anyone can give me! :)
