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.

At what stage are the meatless wings?
Man why do conservatives make communism sounds so cool?
Two reasons:
-
Reactionaries are ontologically evil and anything that makes them cry is automatically cool and good
-
Communism is cool
Replace communism with anarchism and I think this describes my late teens early 20s quite well lol.
Soap box time:
FUCK BONE IN WINGS
It's such copium to go "mm yes give me bones in my tiny pieces of meat! I love paying for sauce and skin and bone!"
Call me whatever you want, call boneless wings nuggets or strips or tendies, whatever. If you want chicken with bones in it, go for something with an actual amount of meat or fun factor to it. When I get a drumstick, I feel like a medieval king enjoying the jesters on my screen as I snap a bite off and grow closer to dying from gout.
If I am paying my hard earned cash for meat and sauce, I want the meat and sauce, not sauce and bones that take up 50% of my meal and go into the trash can when I'm done. I get there's an appear to "sucking the sauce off the bone", I love a good rack of ribs as much as the next Joe Six-Pack, but I want the bones to be able to suckable, and not "this could get lost in my teeth if I'm not careful enough."
Maybe I've never had a good set of bone in wings from local or chain places, but I would much rather buy some tendies and dunk that shit in some generic sauce than eat wings.
It's 1:19 AM as I write this before I pass out, I wanted to get this out in a humorous way, and I hope someone else enjoys it in this shit time we're all in. Goodnight.
Wait until you see the meat to bone ratio of frogs legs.

Your whole mistake is assuming that meat is why people eat wings.
No, to paraphrase Dennis Reynolds, there's no denying that the skins are the most fascinating part. Bone in wings have the highest ratio of skin out of any cut, and are therefore the most delicious.
And yes, I sometimes take chicken skin off of thighs and breasts to just fry them as some kind of chicharrones.
I do enjoy skin sometimes, but it has to be crispy. The method you do sounds good, but otherwise I am not a big fan fo skin, for some reason.
Bones add a ton of flavor. Boneless “wings” aren’t as great
Wings are dark meat though! Sounds woke!
/s
My dating history will confirm I have no issues putting dark meat in my mouth.
Bone adds a lot of flavor when you’re doing longer cooks. Those wings they just shove out the door in a few minutes are not getting anything from the bone.
Boneless every time
That’s not true at all. Most of the flavor comes from the marrow and that breaks down at a temperature not at a specific time. Frying wings will absolutely cause the marrow an fats to melt
All of the chicken they are using is so mediocre from top to bottom it really does not matter. People are not eating it for quality of the chicken, they’re eating it for the sauces.
Again you are factually incorrect. There’s a huge difference between wing “meat” (it’s mostly fat) and breast meat (mostly meat). YOU prefer the taste of the sauce which is why you go boneless.
The issues with this:
- Boneless wings are not made of the dark meat from wings and are inherently a different product altogether. They are made from dry, relatively flavorless breast meat that needs a lot of help. There are good reasons why the more expensive a restaurant is, the less likely that any kind of chicken meat they serve will be breast meat.
- The entire idea here is flavor, not quantity (though I weekly order great all you can eat wings while playing D&D for cheaper than a big mac). The marrow adds a lot of flavor.
I'd guess that you have only ever had absolutely sub par wings. A lot of places will serve wings at the culinary level of Hooters - soggy, over cooked slop.

Maybe? But at some point I think it's more how everyone around me does it. From local to chain to people I've had cook while I was a guest, I've never had good bone-in wings. I've had good ribs and bad ribs, I've had good chicken thighs and bad chicken thighs.
Right; before wings became a thing unto themselves, they were stuck in soup because they add a lot of flavor. A combination of dark meat and bones is why, plus the fact that they were cheap because nobody had a better idea for using them at the time.
Chicken breast is like an empty canvas. They're a chunk of protein that you add your own flavors into. I find that appealing from a cooking point of view, but yeah, it comes out bland most of the time for a reason.
Unless you’re going to some sort of fancy upscale restaurant that’s doing specialty wings, most people are getting their wings at Buffalo wild wings or some other mediocre spot. You are not missing out on anything except cal/$ when you order boneless.
Plus everyone orders wings for the sauces/marinades. No one orders it for the taste of the chicken at these places. Dark meat, light meat, bone, no bone. It’s all the same mediocre starting product.

Since gender pronouns are so so dangerous, how about we call everyone they/them?
How about just eliminate pronouns altogether. Don't see any reason are such an essential part of language. Just don't use pronouns at all. Why can't all just agree to? 's not like are even nessecary.
edit: missed one
Jack, Jill, and John went on a walk. [they] Found an apple. [she/Jill] ate it. A farmer yelled at [them].
Fuck, without pronouns you have to repeat the noun to specify who did what.
Call them what they are: chicken nuggets
No, boneless wings are legally distinct, because they are allowed to have bones in them. There's apparently no rational basis for people to believe there are no bones in boneless wings.
Chicken nuggets can't have bones in them. So they are different things entirely.
See also: synthetic oil. It was argued in court that "synthetic" meant a certain level of quality, rather than being an actual synthetic product. They got the judge to agree.
Synthetic oil is still generally better for your car than the regular stuff, but it's still mostly stuff pulled out of the ground.
Boneless wings are more like tendies than nuggies
boneless wings are soggy nuggets
It starts with a woman using a word you don't understand, it ends with knowing that the president will listen to your tweet, he didn't mean to impact you, surely?
if you put "(alpha male)" in your display name you're a beta cuck. this isn't even about that alphas/betas/sigmas exist. they don't. they only exist to the people who care about those designations. and by caring about them you make them real to you, meaning in your own world view you are a beta cuck
What if Nick Adams (Alpha Male) is just really into omegaverse fics and wants to fertilise a harem of omegas in heat?
alpha male? hope is a satire account
I think this is some kind of furry thing.
Unfortunately I don't think he is satire. He's probably trying to get outrage reactions, though.
The College Republicans club at my alma mater actually invited him to speak on campus.
Considering what he posts, he's most likely a troll.
It is.
It’s not. Nick Adams is a failed Australian politician who went to the US to grift
Ooh, thanks for letting me know. I just remember that a random comment on a YouTube video told me that it was fake, and since that account always says the most ridiculous shit (like full-on far-right parody stuff) I always assumed it wasn't real.
I wish I had the ass and legs of gender pronoun person. If I have to eat boneless wings to get there I will.
I got them with bone-in-wings and beer. But, also, this gut...
We wish it was so easy
