              I did. It was perhaps a bit hasty, but it presented a link and claimed that it showed him not being a bigot. I removed your comment to ensure as few people as possible saw the comment and assumed it to be correct. A lot of people don’t actually check out links.

    Okay I gotta ask since I’ve seen it a bunch recently but when did transgender as a noun become accepted. It’s an adjective. I’ve seen trans people be called a Trans multiple times recently and it never got challenged but it always feels icky to me. I’m a transgender woman or a trans woman for short. If you want to shorten it further you may call me a woman but not a trans

      I think the usage there isn’t meant to be correct, but incorrect as a joke. It’s like how I’ve seen people call themselves a tran. (Trans is obviously plural.)

      I try to avoid using nouns in general for folks (because it’s hard to tell through online/voice calls and I end up forgetting due to bad brain), so I end up just using they/them, you, or something more abstract (gamers, pals, friendos) to refer to people.

      While I haven’t engaged in using trans as a noun, I’d imagine others would for simplicity’s sake, at least in their mind.

        Same as with trans women the trans is still an adjective, i don’t know why that would change. If you want to talk about multiple categories of trans people, you can just use trans people or something similar. If you’re talking about my example at the end there it’s because i literally am a trans woman and was talking about myself.

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

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.
