If I could start my community from scratch I would make the rules different as to not garner the attention of any toxic people that would like to join. I would filter them like crazy as to leave the non-crazy ones in the community to their own devices.

I would do a better job at communicating the rules and guidelines to the community. It's pretty hard to establish after the community has already been around for a while

I think i would make sure our communications were consistent across all media. I came in after everything was established and it was chaotic to go back and get everything on track

I actually wouldn't change a thing. I had the pleasure of being here from the beginning. We made a few mistakes along the way but they were all fixed.

Something about our community guidelines. That's our main problem right now. Some of the community members are out of control.

I will work on my leadership skills first. I realized that I still have a lot of things to improve.

Probably filtering the members of the community. I noticed a lot of them are rude and spread toxicity within the community. How bout you?

Hmm. I am fairly new in my new role. So, I think it would be too early for me to decide on that.
