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.

OH has some good stuff despite the oddball names.

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

So does this taste like broccoli?

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Not at all. It's a "hazy" IPA. The style is New England IPA.

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 1 points 6 hours ago

Love a New England IPA. Having a Tiny Rebel one right now.

[–] Sarcophagus@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

This is what's in the hand of the man explaining the granularities of his office job to some poor woman at a house party

[–] MazonnaCara89@lemmy.ml 15 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Ngl everytime I see IPA my brain translate it to isopropyl alcohol and I was literally confused about the phrase!

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 18 hours ago

international phonetic alphabet

[–] serenissi@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

Same, I though it is a fast drying ipa.

[–] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 28 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

The fact that this posted on X is more disgusting than broccoli cheese beer

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 11 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

It’s the broccoli cheddar ipa of the internet.

[–] PopcornPrincess@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

You created a whole new sentence.

[–] tuxiqae@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Just the name of the beer, it doesn't actually contain either

[–] Theonetheycall1845@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

If that's true it's very poor marketing imo. Who tf wants to drink broccoli

[–] Flames5123@sh.itjust.works 17 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Other Half is a LEGENDARY brewery. They just name things so weird to get attention. I went to their location in Brooklyn when I was in NYC at the start of my brewery crawl and was already buzzed when I left because I love their beer too much. I actually had their base Broccoli beer when I was there! Just a juicy imperial IPA!

[–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (2 children)

I'm surprised this is allowed. Europe has fairly strict rules against displaying food that's not actually in the ingredient list. I guess in the US it is allowed?

[–] Flames5123@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It’s just the name. Does European Lucky Charms actually increase your luck?

[–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 hours ago

Lucky Charms are banned in several European countries 😂

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

There is a lot of weirdness. For a long time now, anything alcohol doesn't have to list its ingredients

[–] Flames5123@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

Well, yes and no. There are strict regulations on what you can call your alcohol, especially if it’s distilled. Beer has to be made with malt or a malt substitute. But anything else added will not be included.

Also, every beer/cider/wine/etc label also has to be reviewed and approved, and it can’t be misleading. One thing that is not approved is obscene imagery, which is why you don’t see pornographic or overtly sexual labels.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Ingredients: Beer

[–] Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

My family knows I like IPAs but to them IPA just means the can has a weird design on it. Normally they're good but one time they got a bunch of triple milkshake IPA and I can't stand those they're like canned bread.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 23 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Beer is like canned bread to me, in a good way. I don’t understand this criticism.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 18 hours ago

and indeed that's literally the whole point of beer, and since both beer and bread uses yeast you can use the same yeast for both, efficient!

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Tbf, milkshake IPAs are only good on tap. Straight ass in a can

[–] Flames5123@sh.itjust.works 6 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Depends on who you’re buying them from. Most of them have fruit or are heavily hopped and need to be refrigerated. I’ve had tons of good milkshakes in a can, but I gotta make sure they’re fresh, or I’m storing them in the fridge for less than a month when sharing.

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

That's the problem I run into. Most at the store are way past a month.

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Hey a blue checkmark, it's like two jokes in one.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I'd try a broccoli cheddar beer before literally any IPA. Yuck.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 3 points 15 hours ago

Same. I don't get why people are so crazy about IPA, or any strongly-hopped beer style. And why Guinness and Kilkenny are the only two British or Irish beers sold here (Kilkenny is good but it gets old drinking the same beer all the time, and Guinness only works for me when it's on tap).

[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 23 hours ago (1 children)
[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

And it is for that reason alone that I will not drink it.

[–] QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I honestly don’t get the hype. They literally taste like earwax

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

i mean, all beer does lol

fuck knows why you'd add bittering agents to a beverage, like mmm yes today i want to drink something poison flavour

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

ah right, so you can put off drinking the stuff for longer, makes sense!

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 points 14 hours ago

Exactly! I certainly don't want to drink something that's dominated by the taste of preservative.

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Beer (and wine) has to be really sweet at the start of the fermenting process, because that sugar is what feeds the yeast. If you don't add any hops, then the resulting beverage tends to be malty sweet and very one dimensional. The hops cut down and balance the sweetness.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

you mean if you don't add hops it's actually malty and enjoyable? wow, now i hate beer even more!

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

You can get those kinds of beers.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I guess it could be like beer cheese soup? When beer cheese soup is good, it's really good. But you wouldn't use an IPA for that. Usually use a pilsner.

[–] tuxiqae@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 17 hours ago

It actually contains neither broccoli nor cheese

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Probably tastes more like a cheesy broccoli soup fart.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 20 hours ago

I was in a ska band called Cheesy Broccoli Soup Fart. We were terrible.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Any plain can with a sticker has that taste.

If you've ever home brewed you know exactly what I mean.

on top of that they're always the most expensive beer in the store.

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"I fucked up and tried to cover the off flavors with a small mountain of hops"

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz -1 points 22 hours ago

Literally every IPA ever.

[–] H1jAcK@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’d have to, out of sheer curiosity

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 3 points 1 day ago

This is part of why I don't drink any more. What happens if you find your new favourite thing and it was a joke that will literally never be made again?

but mostly because I kept getting sours that sounded amazing but where consistently the worst thing I have ever tasted
