Dear members of Neopoet,
Members of the AEC are charged with furthering the goals of and keeping order at Neopoet. They were nominated and confirmed by members of the community and one of their duties is to keep an eye on interactions that get out of hand. Ideally these interactions will be reported and dealt with before things get heated but the fact of the matter is as follows:
AEC members will read a lot of things on Neopoet.
This means that the members of the AEC may be reading and commenting on a lot more of your work than you may like. Since Neopoet is a workshop, you are not allowed to demand or require people refrain from commenting on your submitted items. You may not accuse them of stalking or harassing you if they are commenting within the community guidelines.
If you believe anyone, including a member of the AEC is violating the rules, report them privately, do not make a public accusation. And if you believe specific AEC members are unfit to serve as part of the governing body at Neopoet, make certain they are not elected next time.
