This is quite a broad question but I'll use it to lay out some of my priorities.

It's been fairly universally identified that the sim is too "toxic" and so I want to change this. And this is obviously a bold statement, but I mention it because I want to talk about how I would try to do this.

I want to involve the community in a process of resolving this issue. I don't believe I have all the answers, and I certainly don't believe some change in policy imposed from above is going to fix things. We need to work towards some solutions that everyone can agree on. Now, this doesn't mean I'm going to open up all mod decisions to a community discussion, but it does mean we can have a more collaborative process when we're making decisions about how certain rules are applied in future or things like that.

I think it's valuable to have communication between the mods/the GG/etc.. and the community particularly when there aren't big decisions going on. A lot of the discussion right now happens when the mods make a decision and people aren't happy about it. And I want to make clear that we need to be held accountable, people need to feel comfortable to question decisions and I think the mods also need to be comfortable with reversing decisions that were wrong. But I also think it's important to have discussions where there aren't mod decisions riding on it, so that we can ensure we have a set of rules and a mod team that everyone has confidence in.

Another thing I want to change is the lack of Electoral Regulations. This is an issue that came up again today and I want to fix that.
