Related to this - in them early discussion stages of Codidact, I proposed that all feedback about bad questions should be given privately, rather than using the public comment field, since it is a well-known source of anger and drama. People are prone to respond bad to criticism in general, but especially so if it is done in public. It would be great if we could provide feedback to the poster using a private channel.

Also related, what happened to the Arbitration & Review Panel? I guess it is meant to handle more serious issues than deleted comments, but similarly to my idea above, criticism against moderator decisions needn't necessarily be posted on public meta. It could be posted to this panel, and then you get a neutral third party telling you "the moderator action was/wasn't correct, because-..." This might also reduce frustration from all parties.

@Lundin re your second question. In short: COVID happened and I started studying, so I haven't yet had the time to work on implementing it. Sorry. It is on my list and it will come, I promise. If you have more questions, please ask a separate question.

Re your first question: could you please open a Meta question for that?

@luap42 There were many such discussions on the old forums, though I'm not sure if we came up with any consensus.

@luap42 Ok so I found one of the old posts I wrote at those forums. I've updated it a bit and posted a proposal on meta.codidact here: Giving question feedback in private - a moderating system to reduce conflicts
