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.
That's really good for only the second time of shooting!
Another poster suggested dry firing, which is good practice that can be done away from the range and helps handling the gun become second nature (better with a snap cap so you also practice handling bullets and mags too, IMO). I'd also suggest checking out Tacticool Girlfriend's YouTube video about countering flinching, which is a natural reaction and can cause grouping to drop (it happens to me really badly with full load 45ACP)
Decent grouping on even the smaller targets
Hell yeah.
Are you cross-eye dominant? I recognize that left side spread...
I think? Second time firing and I always get confused when i test so I realy cant tell
Looking good! Try practicing dry firing and see if you can catch where you're canting downward. I'd bet you're squeezing down with your ring and pinky finger on your trigger hand. I also want to suggest that most common body armor can defeat handgun rounds. The wearer isn't going to be happy about it, mind you, but it probably won't mean shit if your bad guy has invested in some plates. Have you perhaps considered a shotgun with double ought or triple ought buck? There's several meaningful advantages over a handgun to think about there.
This trend of putting an apostrophe before every single s has to stop
I'm indicating possession . The apostrophe belongs there.
Who's tran?
DOCTOR TRAN
IS A REAL DOCTOR
AND HE’S OFF TO EAT HICKORY-SMOKED HORSE BUTTHOLES
FROM A CUP
Please let me eat breakfast!
*whose
*whom’st’ve’d
Someone named Tran? If so, disregard the following:
I assumed you were talking about “the rights of trans folks”, which is usually “trans rights”. In that case, “trans” is an adjective. Like “human” in “human rights”.
If you did want it to be possessive for trans folks, similar to if you said “humans’ rights”, you’d say “trans folks’ rights”.
Because while “human” can be an adjective or a noun, “trans” is only an adjective. So you can call someone “a human”, but not “a trans”.
No it doesn't. Since Trans ends in an s, the correct way to show possession is Trans'
While you normally would be correct, transgender is a adjective, while rights is the noun, so no apostrophe required at all
I'm assuming it's a joke I'm not getting.
Dr. Tran has no rules, he just
Kicks
Some
Ass!!!

Sadly, it's necessary. Lots of people are coming after the LGBTQ+ community. If someone ever tries to kill/hurt someone in the community, the community must be prepared.
Armed minorities are harder to opress
I wonder what the equivalent of the Black Panthers would be for the community?
I've always been a big fan of the LP's porcupine. Sends a very clear message of "Don't fucking touch me". They even had some rad as fuck rainbow porcupine shirts back before they gave up pretending they were just a shelter for embarrassed Republicans. I'd love to see it get taken from them, and I think it works because I think most folks associate the no step snek with the libertarians far more than the porcupine.
Edit: The honey badger or wolverine, maybe?
i kno... ;(
im jus.... im worried we r hittin the wrong peeps.
mayb their parents were evil, n now they think the lgbtqia+ peeps r all ~pedos~ or whatevr...
mayb they dun kno any bettr...
They might not know. But it might be too late to convince them otherwise, specially when they already in the attack. Unfortunately, we can't fix everyone's idea on the LGBTQ+ community.
Just one more thing. Just because OP is training to use a gun, and others practice other ways of self defense, it doesn't mean they want to use violence. But it's better to learn to do something, than to not know how to do it when you need to the most.
yea... ur right... ;(
im... im jus sad we liv in dis world...
i wish... i wish friendship were magic and it cud fix everythin... ;(
They know. The current situation is the product of a concerted effort by evangelicals for over 40 years now. They know.
i hate.... i wan peeps to be frens, to be cool, to hav fun, to discuss intrstng topics despite othr unsimilaritis...
i wan peeps to ... to be frens reguardless of the color of their ideologi...
its especially bad in the us i feels.. ;( (im jus a dum lil grmn tryin to undrstand us, so take my ramblin with supr huge mountain of salt)
It would be great if everyone were friends and got a long. But there are a lot of people who want other people dead just for not conforming to their very specific idea of correctness. And those other people need defending.
i kno... i jus... i jus wish we cud all be frens n... thad wud fix evrithin..
Well, it won't. What COULD fix everything is Mutual Aid. People helping people. You can start building the world that you want to see right now, and right here, inside of the shell of the old world. Once people have their basic needs met, a sort of chain reaction take a place. People become aware that they can have it better. Then they realize who is standing in their way. Everything after that is up in the air.
