Lily shadow banning herself

Oh I know, I was just like “feels like I have no context for a lot of forum things sometimes” and figured I could not be the only person feeling that 
and I cope with memes.
Sorry, just thought I’d introduce some levity/group bonding, I apologize if it didn’t read appropriately for this thread.

In non-levity vibes, I do think expanding mod team and defining scope a little more is a good idea. We’ve definitely struggled with this in the past, not just this situation. Whether or not it would have made a difference in the Brute case specifically, doesn’t mean it’s not worth marking the moment and fixing that.

The healthiest Threads about sad things eventually turn into memes. When we figure out new forum guidelines we Will commission a BJ meme version of the forum guidelines.

hello I don’t go here very often but I have moderated Discord servers, and there is a Discord Moderator Academy that you can check out here: Discord Moderator Academy
I’m also happy to help moderate the Discord, although I’m not super active, but I could be a useful resource to handle roles/robots/permissions/channels and decide what to pass on to Lily or somewhere else – I think at my current level of busyness/illness that it would have to be a kind of “describe what you want and I can make it happen when I have time” situation rather than any True Moderation.

Oh thank God because my meme game is not up to scratch
The forum thingy is currently a word doc with a couple of headings and a contents page

I don’t even want to deal with the discord right now so I won’t rope that in. there are fewer total users on the discord than there are active users in an hour on the forums. It’s not my modding focus right now but this is good to know. It seems like a heavily modded discord is more work thank I want to have. Also it slows down my computer a ton.

I am closing this topic so it doesn’t spiral since we seem to be in a healthy place, and introducing a suggestion box for the forum guidelines + review process as part of the moderation.
The goal is to open new moderator applications on October 21st 2022 with updated moderator and forum guidelines.
I welcome concrete suggestions of moderator guidelines and best practices here:
You can also see our current forum guidelines and our current rules there, if you need a refresher.
