I could easily imagine someone being will to act in the relatively tight confines of ‘bad
stuff happening in MUCs, let’s head it off’ while not wanting to be responsible for the
big ticket items and appeals that the conduct team would be responsible for. I can also
imagine that if most stuff is being handled by a moderation team that the need for a
Conduct Team distinct from Board is reduced. So I quite like the split, although if there
was an active conduct team serving both purposes, that seems fine too.

2. Significant moderation decisions may be
reported to the Board or
Conduct Team as appropriate.
When I wrote the CoC, I assumed that a moderation team would be the same thing as a
conduct team - or rather, the other way around, with the conduct team being visible and
proactively moderating as needed. I also assumed Board would want to get a conduct team in
place really quickly.
Should be Moderation team just be the Conduct team? If not, why not?
I'm not wed to any particular structure - whatever works - but I feel strongly this
should be documented into the CoC once it's settled.
