I've given commit and other "dangerous" access (moderator or admin privileges) to people I don't personally know or barely know for a long time now and I don't think I've ever regretted it.
My criteria is usually just a willingness to improve the situation. I can observe this over time via pull requests, forks and general community participation.
I'm very reluctant to give access to someone asking for it. I firmly believe this is something that should be given and not to be expected.
- totetsu 3y agoI gave moderator and admin rights to someone over my Ingress Google+ community I hard worked hard to build, because I didn't play anymore. He promptly removed my admin rights and pursued his agenda with regards to some community Drama. That was an education to me in the human appetite for meaningless petty power plays when all is needed is a bit of good will and cooperation.
- ricktdotorg 3y agohah! i _think_ i remember that? i was an avid ingress player in downtown LA for a time. was definitely part of a few ingress circles/communities and do remember some BS happening in one, basically caused me to stop bothering with google+ after that, i wasn't part of many communities other than ingress. i think g+'s death knell was not soon after?
- bee_rider 3y agoIs this sort of different, since it is a game or game-adjacent space? I’ve heard that, for example, Eve Online players do stuff occasionally that would normally be pretty Not Cool, it were done for some non-game reason.
