    Trump is a felon, so I am not sure “lawful” is the best fit.

      The lawful/chaotic axis represents a person’s willingness to follow an external set of rules against their own instincts or opinions. Having a pocket judge or a pocket president to legitimize one’s actions does not make that person lawful.

          In the interest of accuracy, none of Trump’s 34 convictions were for rape.

          He was found to be a rapist as a statement of fact in a civil lawsuit, but that’s not a conviction.

          So while he is a convicted felon 34 times over, and a rapist, he’s not a convicted rapist.

          Because calling him a proven-in-court-but-technically-not-convicted-because-it-was-a-civil-trial rapist takes too long.

    This only counts because they use their money to make their lives “lawful” through legislation and capture of the courts, minimizing their very real crimes against humanity.

    Okay perhaps Buffett, Gates, and Cook haven’t gone as far as actual crimes against humanity but the rest have, and Buffett, Gates, and Cook are still unlawful but used their money to twist the laws in their favor.

      In D&D lawful alignments apply more towards a doctrine the character follows, not necessarily the actual law.

      You don’t understand Lawful Evil.

      In the Nine Hells, bending and breaking rules to your whim is the norm. It’s whether you get caught, and piss off someone powerful, that matters.

        breaking rules means they’re not lawful. that’s why demons are generaly described as chaotic

        if you do something unlawful, it means you’re not lawful, it doesn’t matter if you’re caught or not

          No, that’s bullshit. You haven’t read the source material. I’ve got it sitting in my living room. Devil’s break rules all the time, they’re EVIL. Lawful + Evil = using the law to suit you. Not “being a villain who’s magically constrained by a writers ethics”.

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.
