Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

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.

MODERATORS
Starts out pretty good but goes quickly downhill.
That Gnome TV makes gno sense at all.
That orc TV has too many thoughts, not enough shouting and explosives. Orcs would watch wrestling, Michael Bay movies, and Russian candid camera shows where they surprise people with boobs.
Halflings are absolutely not known for their passion. Simplicity with a spark of mischief is their bag. They'd go for gardening shows, cooking shows, home improvement shows, and true crime to remind them about how great life is at home compared to those crime ridden tall folk cities.
The Fae don't have TVs. You and your loved ones are their TV. Dance, puppet, dance. ...unless you'd like your daughter to dance for us?
I feel like there is an opportunity for smelting and forging shows on Dwarf TV. I suggest smelting to have on while feasting and then forging during prime time.
They would definitely watch Forged in Fire, at least.
They're also famously effective traders and obsessed with history, but now you're creating well balanced media ecosystem and not a one-line quip.
What about the History of famous breweries? Like i could Imagine whatching that stuff during Prime Time. Bascically erveryday a long ad for Budweiser, Warsteiner and Guinessduring primetime
Halfling TV is just the food network.
Ork TV would also have Pro Wrestling and Monster Trucks.
I came here to say there had to be some sort of mushroom cooking show
given that Orks had restaurants (meat is back on the menu), they also likely have a good channel with celebrity chefs.
Mythbusters would be on Dwarf TV. Dwarf TV would also show How It's Made, Robot Wars, Scrapheap Challenge, Battlebots. I'm pretty sure they'd also be the ones obsessed with cars, unless that was in a universe where gnomes were the tinkerers and inventors.
Orc TV would be The Ultimate Fighter, Yellowjackets, Deadliest Warrior, WWE, Reacher, The Terminal List, Vikings, Highlander: The Series...
I wonder what mythical creatures would watch shows like South Park, Blackadder, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Ogres watching The Great British Bake Off.
Orcs would not be watching WWE. They'll be on that AJPW Kings Road shit.
Minotaur TV: Labyrinth on repeat until midnight, then milk porn until 4am and then labyrinth again.
Rock Troll (Discworld) TV: similar to Dwarf TV, but more igneous.
Devil (Forgotten Realms) TV: Let's Make a Deal, Deal or No Deal, and similar shows
Demon (FR) TV: repeats of the entire Saw franchise, Nickelback videos
Dragon TV: documentaries about predatory animals, business news, Dragon's Den
Elder Vampire TV: CSPAN
Elder Vampire TV has to be CSPAN so they can watch their servants. I tried a historical documentary once and they got really really mad at the historical inaccuracies and threatened to have both myself and Ken Burns killed.
Neanderthal TV: Rock Smash, but then old re-runs of Rock Smash.
K/Pg extinction TV: 12-hour marathon of Rock Smash, then just static.
Cambrian TV: Documentaries about mating, followed by PSAs about the joys of neglectful parenthood.
Oh fuck, sign me up for dwarf tv
I feel they'd also have some "Dirty Jobs with Microcline "Mike" Rowe"
I think they'd also have some old History Channel type content, back when it was like legit deep dive WW2 documentaries and shit.
Kobold tv is just porn
TIL I'm an Orc
I don’t like that I opened the comments to write this specifically.
Maybe there’s more to the hive mind than I thought.
Truly an Orc.
Not Top Gear reruns, Orc Jeremy most certainly didn't get fired for clocking a manager. Orc TV still has proper Top Gear
orc jeremy got promoted for clocking a manager
What would Dragon TV be? Bussiness, and History, as well as documentaries?
Antique Roadshow
Nothing but Cash 4 Gold and Gold 4 Cash commercials.
Probably stock tracking channels but the only stocks there would be for precious metals and natural resources.
Down here, salt is a way of life
I'm subscribing to Orc TV and Fairy TV. But where does Bubs Burgers fit in?
Halfling TV for sure. It's got everything. The impassioned story telling, music, food.
Songs about how making a really good burger is like being a doctor in a war zone? Hell yes!
Do Hobbits love Arcane or is it too depressing?
Hobbits are watching British Bake Off
I think you mixed up gnome and orc here. The really I would just put the orcs for gnomes and then have orcs be reruns of deadliest warriors.
