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.

Modern warfare 3 sucked
Which one lol
3, never played III
Campaign or MP?
Mostly salty because it was the start of the campaigns no longer being good, imo. I didn’t get hooked on the multiplayer the same way I did with the prior ones either
i was still so hopeful, but then subsequent campaigns just started moving further and further into torture porn territory.
i tried to play BO3. iirc literally the first mission includes a scene wherein the player character is overpowered and gets their arms methodically ripped off. complete with PLENTY of horrible “i’m actively dying” screams and cries piped directly into your ears, while you watch a first person view of someone holding you to the ground and ostensibly killing you in the worst way they can think of.
i got sick to my stomach and uninstalled the game. i was actually enjoying the multiplayer prior to that experience. just fucking give the character robot arms, i don’t need a writer’s room to sell “traumatic” in order to care about a game.
like literally can you name a single COD protagonist? they’re faceless puppets that you only care about because you play as them. the forced trauma only serves to make me dislike the devs rather than give a shit about the character.
Soap and Mason are it for me
o fuck i do remember mason
i feel like you could argue the FIRST blops game is actually a spinoff series that they never returned to, and that the following sequels are just “regular COD games”. they made a lot of bold choices in both the single and multiplayer, and i don’t think we ever got back to that same level.
e: advanced warfare was biting titanfall, blops 3 was biting advanced warfare. i GUESS blops 2 was the most creative of the sequels, but even then battlefield 2142 came out 6 years prior with basically the exact schtick.
MW3 was the first and only disk I snapped in half.
Hard agree.
