Use of Trust Cloud To Confirm Community Transparency & Validate Current Admins
IMHO, there are two kinds of moles.
1.) Well meaning persons who can’t control their confusion. This type is hard to spot, and when you try to get rid of it, the full weight of “acceptable community standards” prevents you from getting rid of it. Sacramento has one of these today.
2.) Inadvertent or intentional vicious persons originating from whatever corner. These may or may not be government agents or socio-paths.
Either type succeeds by causing the group’s members to accuse each other, with the mole always appearing to somehow hold the politically correct high ground.
I'm citing the pain from last Friday's Structure WG conference call. It caused two people from Sacramento and one person from Southern California, who were on that call, to “quit”, amidst accusations against each other, and accusations from "leaders" on the call. The “mole's" manipulation made it seem that he had the high moral ground. Or that by listening to him it was best for the group.
Does the National group have someone of the first type that is intimately active with us today, causing our pain? Making us think the pain came from us!? And that he has no fault?
Or will we be plauged by one of the second type? If its just an official, trying to set us up the way people in Earth First were set up and then given stiff jail sentences, I think we will be able to spot them. On the other hand, although I am preparing our own internal and group-wise security protections, things could get dicey.
Please lay into me if the answer is no. I don’t really enjoy writing these things. :-((

I have no particular desire to admin these groups, but if I did, I've no history of Facebook or Twitter, so I'd get a low score (maybe no score). Seems like an arbitrary discriminatory policy. (I'd block but the reframing of "Block" squelches that.)

Was the description writer/editor on the Friday call, or did he listen to it? (not sure who put in the description) I disagree with the statement made. Anonymous and the Zapatistas use masks for a reason; I would honor their perception of danger and/or their intention to put focus on their cause rather than themselves.

Sally please go look at Trust Cloud. It uses platforms you already use. No need to inject your personal politics or to speak for others during a conversation about establishing community trust in a very narrow setting.
Handling community resources & personal anonymity are two separate matters. If you are going to front line an online asset you cannot do so from behind monikers & multiple accounts.
In the end this is not about 'life situations' but movement work flow.

What happens for those not on Facebook, Linked In, etc.? The site indicates that the service is “currently free”, which suggests possibility of being a paid service in the future—we will be finished with NatGat by then, of course, so may be moot. Do we know anything more about the founders? There is not much actual company information on the page.

Folks not on FB & Twitter wont be stepping up to manage the social media.

Ps these sites will always be free. Please check the parinoia. Not relevant here to the topic of transparency in relation to admin access of assets
