... Why must the devs obey the mods?
Anybody?
Why must a programming language even have a moderation team?
Because a walking disease had the brilliant idea of creating one of the biggest tricks to infect open source projects with intersectionality/social justice, the Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct.
Only way you're going to get anything approaching gender parity in "tech".
It's still just a bunch of guys. Just some of them now pretend they are women. As someone who hung out on IRC in the days, I guess nothing's changed.
There's a saying about the 90s internet: Men were men, women were men, and children were law enforcement. The 2nd part continues to be true in tech. We all found out the hard way that's it's definitely true on Faggit.
"Show tits or gtfo."
"Oh wait oh god.. Noooo-"
Jobs for the xrls.
And from whence did they come? Seems to me if the devs can ignore them, their position is largely bullshit. Is someone appointing these clowns or should I be in fear of someone establishing a "voidposter moderation team"?
I'm gonna say the n-word, jannie!
In some far off theory there is the idea that the mod team has a much more direct understanding of the playerbase and how certain changes effect them, and the game itself, so the devs should take their concerns into account.
But that's only in deep theory and I really can't think of a single instance of that being reality.
This isn't about RUST the game.
It's about a programming language.

Ah well you got me there. Thanks for the correction.
