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.

i'm cut and have no idea what this meme is about. growing up, i thought all dicks just looked like mine, i only found out about what a dick is supposed to look like the first time i watched porn...
Most porn dicks are cut though?
With a strong enough erection (such as when having sex, aka what you'd see in porn) cut and uncut look the same. The difference only shows itself with a semi or when soft
Okay, maybe not the first time I watched porn, but it was one of the times I watched porn
Personally I would rather get bottom surgery
Same
Also uncut looks better IMHO.
As a gay man, and a slut, i think I have an opinion that matters here. I don't believe that they can be compared directly. Some cut ones are cut way far back and seem to cause pain, while others are crazy long and look like a weird sea creature. I have never noticed a large difference in cleanliness or sensitivity. They do taste different.
How so? Which ones smell and taste more pissy?
They do taste different.
I was not ready for that 💀
Me, who has learned where the ladyparts lay, enjoys taking time to get to know them and typically doesn't need mechanical assistance due to sufficient preamble.
I can see it working until about age 55.
(this is about jorkin' it)
The true art is in knowing who's "it" is getting jorked
Hahaha and by "it" lest just say.. my peanits
It can be wet down there but still bad friction though. Lube is a game changer.
I just absolutely hate the way lube feels on my skin, idk if its an autistic adjacent trait or what. Similar with lotion just kinda like nails on a chalkboard

TBH no idea how the foreskin helps with jerking a fully erect penis. Do you pull it all the way up, somehow? Or do you just have that much smegma?
It rolls over the glans.
So you just kind of. Like. Roll it.
every now and then i'm reminded to be thankful i got to keep mine, jesus christ lmao
I'm uncircumcised, actually.
i like how two people disagree with that
It's crazy how you poor mutilated people have no idea how it was designed to work.
For one, I haven't had smegma since my parents taught me to clean behind the foreskin (arguably later than they should have) when I was 7. You think we're all just walking around with dirty penises?
For two, the foreskin pulls back below the head, you can pull it down far enough that you look circumcised then you can pull it back over. Pull is a strong word it doesn't take effort, but doing this is pleasurable to the point of ejaculating (i.e. that's one way to masturbate as a person with a foreskin). No need for lube.
I'm uncircumcised. The foreskin is automatically pulled down/back when you're fully erect (or at least mine is...), what mystifies me is how you'd pull it back up far enough that you can use it in place of lubrication for the glans. Is your foreskin just that long? Mine certainly isn't.
So I think there's 2 parts to this, one is different people are different but the other is that when masterbating one might not be quite as erect as with a partner
Sounds like TYL... ;)
you can move the skin up and down, so ur hand doesnt have to slide
I am circumcized so I know foreskin is not a prerequisite for that.
It must depend on the person because so am I and I certainly don't have enough slack to use it like that.

Not sure I understand, but you grab below glans and force foreskin on and off the penis head repeatedly. Don't have to pull it all the way to the tip, going halfway is enough. The foreskin skin is much smoother than hands, so barely any lube is required, just the natural skin oil is enough. I wouldn't call it smegma as it usually refers to white substance full of dead skins and bacteria, but the underside of healthy clean penis foreskin is naturally a little wet.
[…] Or do you just have that much smegma?
What a day to have eyes.

I'd honestly love to see a world war between circumcised and uncircumcised folks. I wonder who would win.
Old enough to have no choice in the matter. We should be pissed at the church, backward medicine and our parents, not each other.

really weird thing to say about genital mutilation
Uncircumcised is the default and probably has a numerical advantage, but once you get circumcised, you can't go back. The circumcised can always convert people, and there's nothing the uncircumcised can do to stop their POWs from being forced to switched sides.
However, what about everyone who doesn't have a penis? Would their allegiance lie with the uncircumcised? Would people who've experienced genital mutilation join the circumcised? Who would formerly circumcised people who now don't have penises join? Would bottom surgery make someone automatically join team circumcision?
This whole thought experiment begs many questions.
The circumcised can learn all the issues with it, then not circumcise their kids.

Obviously the circumcised. They would easily convert the captures enemy soldiers to their side but the uncircumcised would not be able to do it.
jokes on you, i wear chainmail
