Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Swords have always been used to penetrate men.
My thermal camera broke, it's only reading parts of the gun
looks great!
I think that would rather be a similarly treated guillotine blade.
it's just a gamer sword
Gaymer - the rainbow elves
Not enough water cooling, stick more pipes to it
It's blood cooled
Be gay, do crime.
Alex Jones is an absolutely despicable excuse for a human, but he really was on to something with those hermaphroditic frogs.
Subsequent studies found there was a causal link between the chemicals he was referring to and frogs maturing in those waters having substantially higher rates of hermaphroditism.
He's still a scumbag though.
Oh, and cool meme.
frogs maturing in those waters having substantially higher rates of hermaphroditism.
That's not even close to what he was saying though. Even if those studies are accurate, which I have my doubts about
You mean hermaphrodism in amphibians as an unexpected consequence of environmental changes is NOT the same thing as deliberately induced homosexuality for the purpose of world domination?!
I don't know about the studies, but I do know that amphibians are extremely sensitive to chemical changes to the water they live in due to water permeable skin. This makes them susceptible to pollution of every kind.
I also know that hermaphroditism is, if not common, at least possible in frogs. This was a major plot point in the first Jurassic Park.
So if someone said that certain chemicals in water caused a higher rate of hermaphroditism in frogs, I'd likely say, yeah, that tracks.
As for Alex Jones, his instant transition to selling water purifiers was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. The blatant screaming fearmongering followed by an instant ad. Some of his other rants have been less entertaining, but each one is also followed by an ad read, even the times he harassed the parents of murdered children. And that alone says most of what needs to be said about that man,
The "turning the freaking frogs gay" clip is from an episode of... his show (don't want to support it by naming it), in which he refers to the fact that frogs maturing in waters polluted by certain pesticides don't reproduce nearly as much as frogs that mature in uncontaminated waters.
Lacking any substantial scientific basis or knowledge, he drew the rather elementary conclusion that the pollution turned the frogs into homosexuals, and that's why they weren't reproducing.
Further studies showed the causal link between the chemicals and lower rates of frog reproduction were actually due to the chemicals infiltrating and corrupting tadpole DNA during maturation so that they developed both sets of genitals and had reduced testosterone levels.
So, he was only partially right. But he wasn't entirely wrong either. Which is a weird thing to say about the statement, "I don't like them putting chemicals in the water that turn the freaking frogs gay!"
Whang! has a video on his YouTube channel where he goes into depth more on the studies, if you're interested.
What a time to be alive when we're congratulating AJ and being so fucking wrong he turned out to be kinda right.
The most i said was he wasn't entirely wrong. I also called him despicable and a scumbag. It would seem you and I have very different ideas as to the definition of "congratulate"
Sword: Part of an ritual where sweaty muscular men grunt and scream alot while thrusting hard long objects into each other.
I don't think swords have ever been not gay.
the objects are pretty flexible
Gaynbow Steel is unmatched in its sass.
p-pwetty... 🥹🥹🥹
Great news for us sword lesbians ☺️
And they still want to think they can fight gays?)
The real agenda is physics: hotter metal = prettier gradients.
enchanted with piercing IV or sth
Hell yea
Had a similar treatment for clay when fired a certain way, although I forget the details. Looks like an oil slick. I wonder if this is similar?
It's actually a super thin layer of oxidation, and thin film interference. Which is the same phenomenon as the colors in an oil slick. They're called temper colors.
but mummy i want a bismuth sword
Best I can do is a bismuth knife.
i'm only a minute in but this video is really fun. Sold!

Make that titanium double gay by pattern welding it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hnu5DspBso
I knew it was Alec Steele before clicking, yet i was expecting the dick-patterned damascus
T304 stainless steel?!!!?
Guess where you insert it?
