I'd love to see everyone in Facebook's chain of command above the moderators being required to do a week worth of the actual moderating. Then let them say in public that they're doing their best for their employees.

Every incremental step of changing the status quo moves the whole process closer to the long term goal of unlocking all repair issues and gaining the user ability to control data flow. Every step counts.
