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.

I did that too back then lol
And then everybody clapped.
Wait, it is though?...
Oh, biology teacher, recessive.
We should start calling them "submissive genes."
Solid Snake got all of Big Boss's dominant genes while Liquid Snake got all of the weak, submissive genes.
In case Metal Gear Solid didn't already have enough homoerotic subtext.
AuDHD is topping my family so hard rn
I mean it could absolutely be submissive in behavioral but I think we can assume it wasn't
confidentially
In uni english class I was at, professor once told the whole class "Max your passive is great, but active could use some work. Mike show him how its done".
Its been decades I still remember it, she knew what she was doing and got away with ittt 😭
I don't think I understand... I think you're talking about passive and active voice, but what did she get away with?
where I'm from (CIS area) 'active' and 'passive' were common slang for 'top' and 'bottom'
probbly my mistake, I thought it was an english thing too
I understood what you were conveying, though it doesn't quite "land" as impactfully in English as it probably does in your native language. But it does work, and by the upvotes it looks like quite a few people understood what you meant.
Also, thank you for teaching me about the CIS area. I had to look that up, but as a geography nerd I'm surprised I haven't heard that phrase before. I've mostly heard people state their specific country, or older folks saying, "I'm from the USSR."
it doesn’t quite “land” as impactfully in English as it probably does in your native language
Nono, it's definitely a thing in English. Used to be the dropdown options on some dating sites. Or so I gather.
Perhaps fittingly, I thought they were clarifying that the population of their area was predominantly cisgendered.
In contrast to Transylvania, of course.
ah yes, the land of vampires, the original programmers, who sat in the dark and shunned the light. of course they'd have a lot of transfems

Once in HS my biology teacher was talking about IVF, and at some point in his lecture he hypothetically asked "what do you do with all those eggs?" And I answered "make an omelette." He was not pleased. The class liked it though
Maybe it's a forbidden thought but I unironically would like to try such an omelette tbh
We had a substitute biology teacher once who was gonna teach about pregnancy while being heavily pregnant. That was a fun lesson. So jealous though... I wish I had the ability to be pregnant.
Ova are tiny, so it would be quite underwhelming.
Smaller than salmon roe? Should we be talking about sushi instead?
I will not be reading any replies.
edit: I suspect you read it
I'd trade you my uterus, I don't use it. Though I'm not sure what I'd want in return. Maybe a spare kidney, for a rainy day?
Yes please and sure, why not!
If you want a dick, you can have it. It's never had any problems (other than the dysphoria and a testicular torsion that may or may not have finally kickstarted my deeper desire to transition, lmao)
An odd thought I had, if it was possible to transfer human brains from one body to another without any high risks, do you think trans people of opposite gender would still undergo typical surgery or trade bodies?
You'd find both. I'd probably have traded bodies, but I know plenty of folks who wouldn't. We'd also probably have two factions within the body swappers: 1) we try to never see each other again, and 2) we're siblings now, and full members of each other's family.
There would also be hella drama about all of it because for example a guy wanting my body would've gotten an extremely masculine body, everything I've seen a lot of trans guys wish for, but it would come with a disability that may be difficult to handle.
Depends on how safe it is and how long the recovery. And whether nerve endings will attach correctly. Imagine permanently having paralysis or a mild feeling of the funny bone being touched, or brainfreeze from too cold ice cream, except it's everywhere in your body down from the neck? Yeah, no.
Given the immune issues, and the issues with trying to keep the brain well-oxygenated and free from diseases, I think the safer option would be surgery. It feels kinda odd to have your body no longer be your body, even if you'd then straight up have the right body. I think I could accept it, though, but still.
But if the body trade were possible without any immune issues and all that shit, then I'd def do that!
My greatest dream, greater even than being together with a partner, greater than surviving without large complications, is experiencing pregnancy and having a live baby out of it. I really want to know what it's like first-hand, to experience the journey, feeling the baby kick. Hell, even the morning sickness, all the aches and labour pains, I'd take.
There's actually a protocol for transfems to become pregnant, but you'd most likely only be able to carry to 33 weeks, assuming your hips aren't widened from taking E early. Or you'd have to get C-section. That is my case either way.
33 weeks is fine, I can live with that. I then do get to experience the third trimester as well. But I think I want to keep the baby safe, therefore as far to the end as possible it is. The baby then probably couldn't go "down", but other than that it'd be fine. And tbh, I'd be fine with hip surgery too if it meant the baby could descend downward.
I don't mind C-section either, lots of pregnant people do that already anyways.
There's also a transfem gal who actually did an experiment with taking pregnancy hormones, for 10 months (yes, including post-pregnancy hormones). It was rough but omg, it read to be so affirming. She permanently went from a C to a G-cup(!), was able to help a friend out with breastfeeding, and had widened hips.
Worth it.
It feels kinda odd to have your body no longer be your body, even if you'd then straight up have the right body.
Dysphoria cured

Eating human eggs is way more ethical than the eggs of other species because humans can consent to you harvesting them.
In math once we were working on this C(e)^x and when my teacher asked what was on the board, one guy said sex. It was funny.
No idea what I was learning... Something with derivatives I think... But I know that C*E to the x power looks like sex
Probably ∫e^x
which makes an e^x, btw
+c
c+e^x? cex?
That's c*e^x though not c(e)^x
Either is fine. Source: programmer who took a bunch of math earlier in life. ^ has a higher precedence than multiplication. To get this to be different, you would need (ce)^x.

Just own it.
Biology is a diverse and beautiful subject.
the only right answer
Woof c:
It was definitely a C... The class was highschool business calc in 99, no integrals.
