When the complaint is the lack of trustworthiness and of sticking to avowed principles, being untrustworthy and abandoning one's own principles in response is not a wise course of action.
No, it just goes to show that trust goes both ways. Trust doesn’t mean that one side can dictate the rules and the other meekly submits. Those weren’t the moderators’ principles anyway, they were imposed on them by corporate.
It wouldn't be that hard from someone to leak it? If all moderators across different sites can see it, it's not exactly a state secret.
