Guidelines

  • First of all, every community on Lemmy.world should follow the lemmy.world rules
  • Please create a sidebar with some contents, at least a description of the community and some extra rules when applicable
  • Adding a banner and icon for the community makes it prettier. Please do.
  • Every community needs enough moderators.

About moderators

Moderation is very important. This site needs to be a safe place for everyone. The more subscribers and posts, the more moderators you'll need. Make sure you have moderators in all timezones, so if bad stuff is reported in your community, it doesn't need to sit there until you're off work... As the community grows, add even more moderators.

Reports

A moderator will receive reports for reported content in their community. (The admins will receive a copy of all reports in all communities). Please resolve the reports according to the site rules and community rules, as soon as possible. If reports are open for too long (more than 24 hours), the admins will contact the moderator(s). If this keeps happening, the moderators might be replaced.

These guidelines are under construction. Please check back after a few days, hopefully it's more complete ;-)

Mod too powerful? (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I am a mod of two communities, and I have noticed that a mod can completely change the community, spare delete it. One wrong mod and the place is done.

I mod a disability related community ([email protected]). And I just ran into a massive ableist in the wild.

Can I ban them from the community preemptively.

I would expect it to reduce the list of communities to just those I moderate, so just to [email protected] here. Instead it looks just like the Local list of communities for me. It occurred to me I could be very wrong about what Moderator view is supposed to be. How does this work?

Banned a guy, who's convinced me the ban was too hasty. I'd like to un-ban the banned. Don't see any way to do that.

Thanks.

Edit: Resolved. God bless you, every one!

The mods of procycling are all absent - and the community is suffering for it.

This dude posts a wildly racist meme of Michelle Obama. I report the post. Funnily enough, the racist post is posted by the mod of dankmemes, dankchristianmemes and some other shit hole.

Said mod then starts sending abusive transphobic messages to me. Try to report the user. Nothing happens when I hit the button.

Shit like this is why Lemmy isn't a viable alternative yet. We need to do better and be better.
