There are two categories of Admins, those that have been Admins for over a year and those that are new.
The new ones were nominated by members of our marginalized communities to help diversify the admin team.
The specific admin you mentioned was an old old admin, that had left and then returned. At this moment the team is the same it has been the past 2 years with the addition of the aforementioned new additions.
Going forward any admin that stepped down, and has been inactive for over a year will not be permitted to return, and that any new admins will be those nominated by users and then thouroughly vetted and onboarded to prevent this situation from reoccuring
Completely unrelated to the struggle session and more of a curiosity: how are admins vetted? Is it like a lets-meet-in-person thing or its digital equivalent? How do you know that you really know who is behind the handle?
We just send them down to the main office and let Mike from HR brief them on their extra responsibility. It's generally not a hassle, except some of the wfh guys who have to catch a plane out to Langley and then you gotta get into scheduling and it's a whole thing.
edit: I've been informed that I should let you know I was doing a "bit" as we fellow leftists like to do. Josh around.. Unrelated, but do you know of any cool POC community organisers? I've got a business proposition for them. And uh down with the US, fight the power, screw the man!

I can't be specific but it is 100% digital
