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.

There are not really as much restrictions about ammo storage and less so with a vending machine. But what do you mean by bypass? What does it not being a person matter (any storage is not a person unless they are hooping rounds and yet people are still responsible for storage)?
I mean in terms of buying it. A vending machine has zero critical thinking skills and can potentially recognize someone behaving oddly, or blatantly using someone else's ID or other similar funny business.
I'm not talking about storage, the ubiquitous comment was about that. Like you said its almost always stored poorly, a vending machine doesnt change that.
Sorry I said it poorly and made that unclear
What? I did not say that. I was talking about storing explosives in a closed metal box (vending machine) is basically a bomb and the company was incorrectly thinking security of live ammo only had to do with theft and access. Did you just do the same exact thing as the people who make this vending machine?
Also to note, at least outside of america ammo is mostly stored securely (as in not a bomb and not trivially accessible out side of a store). You could argue that it could be better, but honestly the theft part is not the big issue in most places outside of america due to needing a firearm (or rough equivalent) to use the ammo.
No, I agree that its weird, I'm just saying its weirdly common to the way many locations store ammo. As you mentioned, piling it up under a thin piece of glass or inside a cabinet isn't really better. Its all pretty weird.
I also think the vending machine aspect is weird because it introduces other problems.
Many things can be weird about this.
No piling it up under a thin piece of glass or in a cage is better, like by a explosive amount. I was literally arguing the very opposite of what you have taken from my text, I really must do better it seems.
