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.

No, it isn't supposed to fold into a plate, you aphid-faced faucet gnawers. It's just a simple and good design that doesn't use a whole lot of waste and manages to take one piece of cardboard and fold it into a receptacle for food. But remember, it is a receptacle for food. A receptacle that can be closed, and also, remind yourself that this is for Chinese food. The food famously that cannot be eaten in one sitting. You start eating it, realize you have gotten full, and have to put it into the fridge for leftovers. So you close it except now you cannot. Why? Because you gnawed on a faucet.
Faucet gnawer is new to me.
Thank you for the gift of education
New to me too. Try not sleeping for several days while running off of energy drinks that taste like pumpkin spice latte that you found next to a dumpster. It is amazing what the brain can do.
The gift that keeps on giving
It's amazing a brain can do anything after that
I unfortunately have a lot of practice.
The food famously that cannot be eaten in one sitting.
I'm going to eat a quart of egg fried rice tomorrow just to spite you.
no you're not because your loved ones ate your egg fried rice before you got to it
Keep any organic life upwind from you for the following 24 hours.
chinese food. The food famously that cannot be eaten in one sitting.
I have never heard of that.
Also, I assume you're not a fat fuck, since you think there's food that can't be eaten and a single sitting.
*looks at username*
I mean, yeah. I hope you're staying well, wish you all the best.
EDIT : and by that stupid shit, I mean to put respect on your name, good Stamets
I guess I should have said stereotypically. Like if you look at TV/movies/video games and someone looks into a fridge there's usually a container of chinese food. It's fallen out of favor more recently but you'll still see 'em kicking about. That and there's the whole thing about it being really quickly filling but then leaving you wanting more not super long later so it ends up as leftovers for a bit.
As for staying well... not close. But I appreciate it <3 Same back to you my friend
bit rude innit?
Without clarification from the designer it's impossible to tell what the intention is. If you're gonna come in and act all high and mighty about it I expect you to actually pull up the patents and prove it. Otherwise you're doing the same thing as the original poster, only you're also a hypocrite.
Okie dokie.
Evidently I wasn't clear enough with my aphid faced faucet gnawing stuff. I was overresponding for the sake of comedic effect.
But considering you asked so nicely?
Here's the patent for an 'Oyster Pail'. These things were designed to hold Oysters or other things by using simple blanks that could be double walled for strength and with a closing lid that could prevent containers from sloshing around. There's actually even more history about it! You can check it out for yourself! How?

Well, you know, there happens to be this magical thing that was created a few years back. I know it hasn't made the full rounds but you should check it out! It's called 'The Internet' although I've heard it referred to a few different things. Turns out it has this huge repository of information that you can find! It's really cool!
no. eat out of box only.
Is this true or is it just a coincidence? Like are you actually meant to unfold them? Because I've truly never seen anyone do it, but I'm also in America, but then again I don't know if these were made in America originally like a lot of Americanized Chinese food things.
Probably coincidence. Like the whole thing where people claim the hole in a cook pot handle is there to hole the stir spoon, or the little paper condiment cups are also some kind of saucer when pulled apart. No, it’s just the way it’s built, and plenty of pots don’t have the hole, and opening up the condiment cup is just a lucky coincidence. Also, you can bet that if the takeout container had a recommended alternate configuration it would be printed on the container to use it that way and/or you would regularly see it used that way. Any gimmick like that would be advertised to a potential customer. Not just “surprise, here’s this thing that’s been in use for 50 years and everyone’s a moron for not knowing the real use!”
It is MY takeaway and I decide how to eat it
Since I first heard of this 15 years ago, I still haven’t ever done this, because the box when it’s folded up, is just like a box of food in it. You can just eat out of it, as is, similar to a bowl. When you’re done, you don’t have to fold anything back up into a box. You just close it and put it in the fridge.
why the fuck are plates even the standard? i've been using lunch boxes to eat my food in and it works much better for everything.
A dude I knew used to eat literally everything out of mugs. Claimed that mugs are superior to everything else. Dude had a point
Evolve the standard mug into a Corningware meal mug.
It's large enough for a full meal-sized serving, the lid is robust as fuck, and they come in multiple fun colors. You can microwave the shit out of it and the handle won't get hot.
hey, that’s my mug! love that mug. i know i left it at work… did you… did you take my mug???
Mug life 🗿
Bonus points for being able to heat tomato sauce and not get stained
Your access is limited to the upper layer. Depending on the food you might want to reach the bottom too or mix it easier.
no i'm not talking about eating out of a tall glass, i mean why don't plates have like a 2cm rim on them? i have absolutely no problem reaching things in my lunch boxes.
The forbidden blate
i've got some. they're great unless you're eating cereal and want to drink the milk
this stumped me for like a minute because in sweden "blatte" is a depressingly common slur for brown people
you mean 🅱️late
hehe lol
How about "forbidden Plowl" instead
That works well. I used to put my salad into these flat bowls with a 5cm rim.
More importantly, those little ketchup cups can be expanded if you pull out every second or third pleat to make it actually usable as a dipping tray.
