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.

Yeah I don't like needles but injections are goat. Anecdotally, it's common to get additional development after switching to injections from pills.

Pellets sound good, but they're often not prescribed.

People report this all the time regardless of what switch they make. It's indeed very anecdotal

Yeah, the biggest benefit was that sublingual was more of an inconvenience to my daily life than shots

Boof your P?

No Idea about spray

The problem with pellets is that they can release the hormones at uneven rates as they dissolve because they aren't perfectly homogeneous. There's also a chance that your body rejects it and forms a fibrous capsule around it that prevents it from releasing the hormones at all.

Interesting, TIL, didn't know that. How common is it?

It's really hard to pin down because of inconsistencies between manufacturers. I've had patients that got pellets and had no effects whatsoever, and some that got way too much because it dissolved too quickly. It also kind of matters who is implanting them and if they know what they're doing. (Pro tip, chiropractors and naturopaths do not know what the fuck they are doing.)

Yup, for me the choice was basically:

1: needles not available (even if they were, I don't like them, and i'd personally feel a bit like a junkie),

2: pellet not available

3: patches wouldn't work on my sensitive ass skin

4: oral seemed so convenient but i decided not to. wanted to avoid the minor risks of either pill method (tbf, the newer ones have neglible risks and you def could do some years with them, but still).

5: that leaves gel and spray. hormone levels are easier to keep constant, and i can vary, so i can simulate a period, feels kinda affirming.

and especially: spray dries quickier, so, that's it!

still pretty convenient. it's also kinda fun, i like to imagine it as a lil' gun you shoot on your skin. pew pew :3
