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.

this machine kills fascists indeed.
i like ska cuz it says that we should have a good time even if the world is ending 🎺🎺🎺🎺
Party at ground zero 👌
Of course dark is ingredient of beauty
Funny thing Ive been thinking about checking out sime bluegrass band tonight and then here's a bluegrass meme! Is it one of those Message from the Universe things or one of those You Notice It Cause You're Thinking About It things? Who can say?
Think I'll go along tho, why not? You don't get much bluegrass round these parts, especially... Bengali Bluegrass?
You'll never leave Harlan alive
I like music because notes and timbre.
My dream girl is now a goth with a mohawk playing a banjo.
Probably could find some people close enough in the accoustic folk punk rock scene. Maybe not specifically mohawk & emo. But probably banjo + punk/goth aesthetic.
Libby Lux, lead singer of the Bridge City Sinners, fits the bill pretty well, but as you say, no mohawk. I feel like once you get into the folk-punk/psychobilly scene, the default is more often rockabilly greaser/pinup than punk but there's exceptions to everything.
Edit: Also, their particular flavor of satanic folk-punk is particularly good, if you're into that sort of thing. I think they do a pretty good job of writing catchy songs with a mashup of B-movie pulp (a la The Cramps or the Misfits), occult themes and imagery, and modern relevant topics like mental health issues and substance abuse. 9/10, highly recommend, especially their first 2 albums, the first of which has my all-time favorite version of "St. James Infirmary Blues"
didn't know my life was missing this band until today, holy shit. thanks :)
Glad to spread the good news. I think I found them in a listicle about "the best non-metal satanic groups" along with Amigo the Devil, Twin Temple, and Dorthia Cottrell, among others.
I found a lot of good music from that list, and it wound up sending me down a three-year rabbit hole when it mentioned psych doom and stoner rock, which I had never really explored (and now stoner/doom is one of my favorite genres).
So, clearly I have pretty positive memories of that particular article; I'll see if I can find it again, because if you like Bridge City Sinners, there's a lot more to explore
Edit: found the link and it's just as good as I remembered from when I first found it 3-4 years. I still listen to a lot of these bands
Edit 2: It seems like the Sinners aren't actually in this list directly, but I have a vivid memory of discovering them through this article, so I must have dug into the "People also listen to" sections in Spotify
look i don't know what your grudge is against my bank account, but i have $100 in strange vinyl disks being mailed to me now. please cease this witchcraft.
that article had me hooked in the first two sentenced too. and now the budos band is gonna cost me money.
ahh, jeez. If I'd known you were into vinyl, I'd have thought twice about these recommendations ;)
Saw “Bridge City" and then read your description of them and thought, “I’m willing to bet they’re from Portland.” Checked out their web page and yup, of course they are! Dammit, I love Portland!
I have reservations about Rockabilly. Not necessarily any particular rockabilly group, but several of the people who I have met who present as Rockabilly styled were... let's just say less than punk, progressive, forward thinking. At least one was on the verge of tradwife shit, honestly.
But thats typical to Applacian culture, right? If you dont wanna be classist, see how people compliment their background,
(some people have come a long way and still have further to go)
That's fair. Psychobilly tends to have more punk/progressive tendencies, but like most music scenes, there's a wide variety of people who self-identify into that group, not all of whom share the same values/politics. With Rockabilly in particular, you get considerable overlap between the nostalgia for the fashion and music of early rock'n'roll and the nostalgia for the politics and society of the same era.
Libby was my first thought as well.
mohawk & emo
When did mohawks become emo-coded??? They were a staple of the punk scene in the 80's/90's...
banjo + punk/goth aesthetic
I thought that's what I was describing.
I don't think mohawks are emo-coded. I think because they're so strongly punk-coded, it would be really hard to both have a mohawk and be perceived as emo.
Woody Guthrie, 1943+
I like Woody Guthrie because he has a machine that kills fascists
