you got this! I’m sure everything will keep going just fine <3

Thanks for your input! To be able to moderate this community on our instance, you’d need to be on our instance, haha. If you ever feel like you could help or have the (mostly) consistent time in the future, then feel free to reach out.

You can just tell them “how are you” back, as it’s often used as a greeting too.

Should’ve missed the one in dbzer0. :D

1 or 2 hours total activity per day would be sufficient :) occasional inactivity would be fine as long us you let us know beforehand.

The same team are mods in multiple communities.

It probably doesn’t. You can still believe in things, just maybe not those kinds of things.

That would depend a lot on the context. What catches a moderator’s attention on an issue like this wouldn’t be seeing the individual post, rather seeing the reports about it. A mod usually acts on the consensus of the community and tries to determine if the members are correct in reporting things. They may be correct or wrong, but most of the time it’ll be correct. And we’d of course step back and apologize if we thought we were wrong.

when the person asking is actually curious about finding out the answer

I don’t think so. As far as I’m aware, concern trolling is an act to lower morale and place distrust among the opposing side. A person who’s on side B pretends to be on side A.

Let’s say you’re an admin on this site, and you have made a post asking for server donations.

Then just when all was going well, another member comes to the comments, who seems to support you and praise you really well at first. The rest of their comment is then telling everyone that they “appreciate your work”, but “you can’t handle it”, because this or that. Causing some of your genuine members to question you with their “concerns”

I’m on your side, so you should take my bullshit concerns seriously!

“Sealioning” here refers to a way of trolling by asking ill-intended questions, usually disguising it in innocence. When other members try to explain and help, they’d try to lure them into hours of discussion upon it, usually by knowingly misinterpreting what they heard.

Or worse, just directly disrespect and reject all the suggestions the commenters provided. The essence is being a waste of time for everyone.

This is about to be one of those hard life lessons

We’ll change the word sealioning :)

It should be a checkbox on your settings page.

Why would it matter what anyone says? The moderation’s approach is clear enough, and nothing else would be subject to toleration when the rule is violated or tested. A moderator may also extend or update the conditions of a rule, provided they are in agreement with other moderators, upon any time of need.

Also rule 5 should be covering this. :)

Hello there. If you’re not a bot, can you please mark your account accordingly? Thank you :)

thanks for the link!

Not if you don’t want people to come up with their own definitions of being a dick :)

Oh, you edited your comment as a reply. Rule 7 is “You can’t harass or disturb other members.” and the rest is extendable clarification of it, and this post is further clarification of both, it’s also a necessary measure. You have to build a context so it can’t be taken out of that context. This is a precaution, saved for future reference and also intended to protect this community’s moderators from being targeted. The responsibility of enforcement, along with useful additions and perspectives taken, is described here in detail.

The in-site search function on browser seems to work pretty fine.
