I wish to Declare a list of corrections that must be taken to win back the trust of everypony, of every creature, and of all future users of Derpibooru.
The time for posturing and meaningless half-measures is over. Either ACT and do what is right, or it will be forever known that the administration and moderators at Derpibooru do not agree to these most simple and reasonable terms and instead are intentionally choosing to stall, obfuscate, with the intent to weasel out of their loss.
#1: Any administration and moderators that did not openly or internally oppose the censorship and removal of art must be removed from their positions immediately. They must be given a badge that shows they support censorship that can not be removed. And they must never be allowed to serve as administration or as moderators ever again. A punishment they should wear proudly if they honestly hold such beliefs.
#2: Because the Derpibooru administration and moderators have proven that they can not be trusted, from now on before anyone may serve as administration or as a moderator,
A: they must publicly state they oppose censorship,
B: state they will follow all of the rules,
C: state they will not make any change to any rule until a public announcement is made at the start of a given month, and a vote is taken at the end of said month with a 2/3rds majority in favor of the change,
D: and finally, they must state that any criticism of the moderation must be allowed to be made publicly. Transparency is the only way censors can be held accountable. If public outcry against abuse is not protected then more abuse is inevitable. Its simply the best practice policy and should be supported and followed by all legitimate businesses.
#3: These three Declarations may never be changed under any circumstances.
Please, as the public, suggest any amendments, or changes to this that you feel are necessary. Lets find the high ground to rally upon so we can establish a lasting victory!
