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 literally eat whole heads of raw cabbage on the daily as part i my "lose a ton of weight without having to cook by noshing on tons of veggies and exercising" project 😄
Oh god, I imagine it goes...
(Eats a head of cabbage)
Oh god, I never want to eat again.
(Skips every meal to avoid cabbage.)
Nah, I love cabbage and because it's so full of fiber and water as well as low in calories, it keeps me full for a long time and does wonders for my digestion while keeping my caloric intake low lol
Sounds like my kind of diet. Low effort for the win. Good luck!
Thanks!
If there's one thing I've learned from countless attempts over 25 or so years it's that when it comes to losing weight and getting in shape, the most important thing is to make it as easy and fun for yourself as possible.
I'm not gonna run every day, cook every day, or starve myself. That's just not going to work long term.
Going on my exercise bike every day and ingesting a ton of cabbage, other fruit and veg, as well as moderate amounts of dairy and lean meat that doesn't need to be prepared for protein? THAT'S something I can and will do!
So far, I've dropped a little over 50 kg, my blood pressure isn't too high anymore, and my resting heart rate is as good or better than when I was 18 even though I still weigh 20-30 kg more than I did back then!
One block of cheese is not enough, you need to eat the whole wheel.
Preferably mid-combat
No sweetroll, 0/10.
It was stolen.
The sweetroll was the one who prepared it for you, btw
Damn honestly that looks pretty good right now.
There was going to be rabbit haunch too, but the salt pile was used for some potion
Every few months I get the insatiable urge to make "peasant dinner" which is just a big loaf of bread (usually sourdough), butter, and some kind stew.
Highly reccomend
Mmmm... stew in a bread bowl, my beloved.
Damn, it's been far too long since I have had stew, I don't cook, and I have no idea where to get any around here ☹️
If you have a slow cooker or dutch oven, making a basic stew is a simple as cutting veggies and throwing that with some broth and beef cubes for a few hours. Spice it with a lot of thyme and garlic. For a better broth, consider red wine (the cheapest is fine) and thicken it with corn starch.
I always do stews for myself and I live alone. You can store the extra portions in mason jars, keeps very well, though if you’re doing that I recommend whole small potatoes since cut ones will dissolve over time.
stew is simply boil't. Just put a big plastic bowl in a microwave, heat to a rolling boil, then turn it down to a simmer
i guess boiling stew in a plastic bowl is peasant-style but please don't
It's not that I lack the ability. It's that i live alone (not counting The Fabulous Staredycat Sisters since they're not offering any help in that area) and don't have the attention stamina to do anything more involved than putting something in my oven, microwave, or air fryer and take it out when it's done.
Provided that I remember to set a timer on my phone when using the oven so I don't forget all about it with disastrous consequences again..
Crock pots are set and forget really. We leave ours running all day while we are gone half the time, just gotta make aure there is liquid so it doesn't dey out.
aha, oven stew is really easy!!!
Would
Have
Dinner
Tonight
if someone didn't is to me I would kiss them
Honestly give me a knife to slice things with and that's a half decent meal
Cheese
Yes, please.
I would boil them together first though.
I don’t see any sweet roll. Did someone steal your sweet roll?
Add in some Skooma, and you got yourself a deal.
Hold yer horses dragon, I must feast upon 40 wheels of cheese.
I have seen a young man eat one of those Colby blocks. Mortifying.
Yeah, you're supposed to eat them in the dead of night, paring pieces off like an apple and eating them off the knife.
Add a bit of mayonnaise and you got yourself the ingredients for some grilled cheese sandwiches.
Blasphemy
Cheese looks like it's got oddly coloured hives.
that's colby jack for ya
I remember those grocery store bakery breads too well. Their gooey consistency, the way they quickly dried into an inedible log, their white flesh being too moist to turn into panko without wadding. The colby’s fine, though.
