!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
Our breathtaking icon was bestowed upon us by @Cevilia!
The greatest banner of all time: by @TheOneWithTheHair!
I can't click on it, don't find anything on lemmy.world about it (maybe I'm just not good at searching for this stuff) and it only appears on a single comment I made. I haven't seen it anywhere else yet. What does it mean?
EDIT / update: It is probably just an UI bug of some sort.
It means you're armored and ready for keyboard battle.
It means Mod is speaking officially.
But I am not a mod in that community ^^° so unless an actual mod / admin slammed that icon onto my comment for whatever reason, I have no idea why it is there.
Yeah that part I don't know, that is what that icon means, though.
Hmmm ... maybe it's something to mark an "admin-approved answer" or something similar? That's the only thing I can think of RN.
If I'm reading this correctly, https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/blob/c49ca9e1958622600f615c276d599d70aa6ccda5/src/shared/components/common/user-badges.tsx#L56 suggests it's either deleted, banned or an admin.
Weird ... if it was deleted, y'all would not be able to see it, right? And I'm obviously not banned as I can still post, and neither am I an admin / mod.
PS: I can't find anything about it in the mod log either.
Deleted shows a little red trash can next to post. Mods can see deleted posts to answer your question, that is how I can see that member's post that was deleted in the screenshot.
Do you have a link? Does something appear when you put your mouse on top of it without clicking?
No hover text either, unlike with other icons. Direct comment links don't properly work ATM, but there are only two comments on the post anyway: https://lemmy.world/post/4262270
The HTML says "text-danger" but I only see it on lemmy.world, maybe ask a mod about it.
Weird
Edit: I guess I can't post the HTML even in code blocks. RIP.
The icon usually signifies you're a moderator of the community, that the comment is within.
I am not a mod of that community tho, and the "mod icon" that does appear in the communities I moderate, looks different entirely (a green M)
Yeah, very strange. Also confusing, from a UI design perspective.
Could it be to identify you as OP?
edit: probably not; there is a different marker for that.
...and I'm also not the OP of that other comment thread ^^°
Could it mean you're blocked/banned/shadow-banned or similar?
That was my first instinct too, but I can't find anything about it in the mod log, where banning etc. would normally appear (the logs are public). And if I were banned, I wouldn't be able to post and comment, nor would y'all be able to see the comment, right?
I'm just at a loss.
Very strange.
