RFC: Reinstate good tooling #8

@ghost

Description

During the time John was admin at zatech, I think the community benefitted very well from the additional tooling. After he retired from his post, the tooling was removed. The tooling provided several benefits to the community, around administration, locking threads, visibility and other things which helped maintain a courteous and kind workplace which were lost and never replaced.

Suggestion

  • Replace, reinstate or create tooling to make the site more maintainable
  • Add visibility into metrics like the graphing tool

Reasoning

We have been told over the last few years that admins always step in as a last resort, at which case conversations have become extremely divisive.

Tooling and visibility helps those who want to contribute create better weighted arguments and make enforcement clearer.

I fully respect this isn't the primary responsibility right now, but I wanted to add it 'to the bag' so to speak.
