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.

We can teleport 7 inches, but there is no cool down specified.

  1. Go outside.
  2. Teleport 7 inches at a time into the sky, at such a high rate it's nearly instant.
  3. Teleport 7 inches at a time to whatever location you want, at such a high rate it's nearly instant.
[–] WhatSay@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 days ago

Nice loophole, try not to get motion sickness

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

Or teleport through a wall

[–] Master@lemm.ee 8 points 3 days ago

The gravel one would make you rich pretty quickly depending on how fast you can conjure it.

The teleport 7 inches thing would get you through almost any door or fence including an most stud walls including vault walls.

Id pick the gravel one I think though. Again depending on how fast you can make it. If its a cup per 24hr then the teleport is where its at.

uuh I read "can communicate with others" for 1. and i thought "that'd be useful actually"

[–] WhatSay@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 days ago

I'll go with #7 I'm curious, and I'd figure out what the limitations of a 'container" is. And maybe I could get a job at the docks knowing what shipping containers are empty or not, or maybe if a lung is a container, I could become a med tech. Many possibilities

[–] Dave2@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 3 days ago (1 children)

infinite gravel for lifeeeee 🤑🤑🤑

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 23 points 3 days ago

This certainly seems like the best out of these options. Start a gravel company. Infinite stock. If you can just create it out of nothing at the location of your choosing, you don't even have to pay for trucks, which I imagine is probably a greater cost in the gravel industry than the gravel itself.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 15 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

7 is huge because "container" and "empty" are much less specific than you'd think

[–] Satellaview@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I was trying to come up with a way to use 3 to get through bank vault doors, but I like this. Any empty transparent box suddenly becomes a surveillance tool…

[–] elidoz@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 days ago

also you'd never lose that game where a coin is shuffled beneath 3 glasses

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 15 points 3 days ago (2 children)

7 inches will get me past a window.

[–] MissGutsy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 days ago

It also doesn't specify how often/quick you can do it, so you could still move at breakneck speeds, 7 inches at a time

[–] match@pawb.social 3 points 3 days ago

You'd be an amazing fencer

[–] Wirlocke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Listen, teleporting is always so busted that even 7 inches is enough to teleport through doors, fences, or restraints.

Only if your skinny and tuck your feet to the side though, even not though you'll at least be able to jump higher.

[–] SnortsGarlicPowder@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh damn. Am I made naked when I teleport?

[–] WhatSay@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 days ago

I imagine using any of these abilities will leave you naked, it's a given

Can I manifest the gravel or is it like I can just jedi mind trick the delivery driver?

[–] SnortsGarlicPowder@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Whats the cooldown on the teleport and what happens if I teleport into a wall?

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 5 points 3 days ago

Free gravel

[–] callyral@pawb.social 5 points 3 days ago

3 (it doesn't say there is a cooldown)

[–] riquisimo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I will build a mech from toasters. I will implant tiny toasters on to satellites and rockets to control the world from space.

Are babies toasters? I will use my toaster powers to change the definition of toasters in all major dictionaries. The sun is a toaster. People are toasters. I control all life. Mortality is a toaster. There is no bread, only toast. Press the lever down again. The brave little toaster is a global icon. Press the lever down again. We are the immoral children of a loafing god. Press the lever down again. Mosquitos no longer exist, or maybe they do, they've just been transtoastified into kittens. Push the lever down again. No more paper cuts. Push the lever down again. Now I have a nice hat. Push the lever down again.

Push the lever down again...

[–] scruffy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 days ago

I love microfiction. Thank you

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Does 3 cost me any energy, or are there any other limitations on how quickly I can teleport?

Yeah it's a little annoying to only be able to go seven inches at a time, but if there's no limitations or cooldowns, you can move seven inches every ~250 milliseconds. That's pretty close to a mile and a half a minute. If it doesn't exhaust you, that's still a pretty efficient and speedy method of travel.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Sure, but that depends on the person. You shouldn't get that much more motion sick than you would be traveling in a car at 80 mph.

You also aren't technically moving, which is an interesting thing to think about. You're standing still the whole time, and magically appearing seven inches ahead as fast as you can react. Your vestibular system shouldn't actually detect any movement at all, so maybe people sensitive to carsickness would still be okay.

[–] Foxfire@pawb.social 5 points 3 days ago

Instant teleportation also would result in the sudden creation of a vaccum at your prior location, only 7 inches away. This cavitation would then immediately collapse in on itself from the surrounding air, and would likely result in some not nice things happening to your body as you experienced that shockwave. I guess you could continue to instantly teleport if the cooldown is basically zero, but no matter when you stop, you'll always be seven inches away from your latest hole.

  1. You could probably make a career out of the scientific discoveries this would lead to
  2. basically infinite money but inconvenient
  3. Absolutely the best of the bunch, being able to skip through walls is great even if the exploit about speed teleport doesn't work.
  4. Could your brain use two noses like two eyes and gain depth and direction sensing? if so that could be pretty cool, probably not worth the cost of having people want to study you for spontaneously growing an extra functional nose.
  5. Is this infinite range, could have it set up to do anything mentally at a distance.
  6. absolutely useless, because it's only look, not be, and you don't look different in 10hours
  7. Could be good to know whether a container is empty.
  8. A career as a historian
  9. Him in his prime? either way probably a downgrade for a lot of people, especially if it stops you getting better over time
[–] meep_launcher@lemm.ee 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

But if you use #6 every 10 hours you'll stop aging altogether, so essentially it's an immortality drug. If it is just the looks that stay, it still means your skin cells aren't bogged down with broken and aged skin cells. You are now immune from skin cancer.

Just don't sleep in over 10 hours and you're good.

[–] saigot@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

I guess I interpreted that one as a one off usage (i guess i assumed the opposite for the teleport so thats not really fair), if its repeatable, it's much more useful, but it still wouldn't stop all the internal aging that will actually kill you.

[–] yessikg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 days ago

Teleporting away is cool rewardless of the distance

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

So I can't currently run at all... Running as fast as Einstein might be an improvement, depending on what age we're talking about

[–] riquisimo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

Einstein is a very slow runner, currently.

[–] MisterD@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

Well if you are currently unable to walk...

[–] Ze_Rosie_Ro@lemmy.cafe 4 points 3 days ago

2 would be the most lucrative but 5 would be… interesting… for insurance purposes… lol

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 3 points 3 days ago

I'm picking #7 to make my life slightly less insane, since I live with a muppet who leaves empty containers in the freezer.

[–] gatohaus@eviltoast.org 2 points 3 days ago

Reconsidering 4 (second nose).. Maybe you could cause a second nose to grow on others..? And if a few of us choose this, then we could form an unstoppable team, horribly disfiguring war criminals, oligarchs, and mimes everywhere!

[–] jia_tan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 days ago

2 and 5

Imagine being ably to hook up a bunch of toasters to a computer and then being able to control the computer with them!

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

3 or 6 are great choices if there is no cooldown period
