The moderating over the past 24 hours was to limit the flood of toxic posts so a civil discussion could be had over the next few days regarding how to move the sub forward. Everyone who's been banned will have their banning reconsidered if they want to be part of the solution.
When a new plan is rolled out over the next several days, all the ideas I've heard will be considered with the intention of 1) diminishing the toxicity in general, 2) making it clear what the rules of the sub are, and 3) providing resources for more timely moderation of questions, concerns and abuse.
I get that people are frustrated, but I also see a world outside of Reddit, Facebook, etc. that's becoming more and more contentious due to unbridled social media. It's no secret that social media creates division, and while my reaction to it has created more division still in the short term, my hope is that the long term benefit to Cambridge, and the sub will be made apparent.
At its core, although it may be hard to see in all of this, the wellbeing of people although the city is my primary goal.

You blanket banned anyone that mentioned bikes. That had everything to do with your personal position and opinions and nothing to do with effectively moderating the sub.
>Everyone who's been banned will have their banning reconsidered if they want to be part of the solution.
Don't reconsider. Immediately reverse all bans. Appoint new moderators. Step down.

Yeah, your responses continue to illustrate that you just don't get it/appreciate the fact that this is a problem of your own design. It's not on everyone else to demonstrate to you that they want to be part of whatever sort of solution it is that you imagine yourself being at the center of... appoint new mods and step back.

Thank you for your feedback.

Be accountable. Stop making excuses. Do better.
The “toxic” posts were a scenario entirely of your own making. You continue to just dig yourself deeper.
> At its core, although it may be hard to see in all of this, maintaining my total control over this subreddit, escaping accountability and responsibility, and not losing members to /r/Camberville is my primary goal.
Fixed that for you. Prove me wrong.

You created a rule based on something that happened to you OUTSIDE the sub. And now you're trying to solve a problem that wouldn't have existed in the first place if you hadn't done that.
