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.
Project Zomboid: Contains subtly pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. The Sexy Time and Bedroom Zed events have a 1 in 7 chance of featuring two same sex zombies.
The amount of time and effort it takes to find something like that. Weirdly obsessive over LGBTQ stuff.
Life is Strange: only slightly woke
Tomb Raider, Halo Infinite: Woke AF because checks notes female front line combatants. lol
Just wanted to point out the Metal Slug section of the list. It's woke because the frontline soldiers are women.
These "people" are mentally deficient.
Love these games. Must be why I love treating women like human beings.
Factorio is considered "slightly woke" since enemies attack pollution producing machinery... Holy hell these guys are insane
Female front line troops are woke. Guess civ is out of the question for these people
Halo Infinite is woke because "female frontline soldiers and are indistinguishable from male soldiers"
Troops? Bro, even female villagers/workers are woke in Age of Empires. Apparently they want them to work less efficiently than male ones for the sake of realism: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/Woke_Content_Detector/discussions/1/4763207599014826946/
Nobody tell Kovarex.
Just checked Outer Wilds, which is deemed „slighly woke“ because the race of aliens to which you belong all use they/them pronouns. They do note that the race of aliens you‘re studying all use he/him/she/her pronouns.
Here‘s the thing - your race has evolved from amphibians. Hermaphroditism and spontaneous sex-change is a well-established trait in some species of amphibians. The other race are mammals, where such examples are much rarer.
For it to actually be a „woke“ thing, rather than world-building, you‘d have to have one of the mammals be referred to as „they“. Or, perhaps, one of your race referred to as „he“ or „she“. As it is, it suggests that gender is either non-existent or fluid amongst your species and therefore it makes no sense to use that as an identifier, and gender exists amongst the other species and therefore it does make sense to use that as an identifier.
And, truthfully, we don‘t know, because other than a couple of references to people „flirting“ with each other (in both species) and you being referred to as „hatchling“ rather than being given a name, sex gender, reproduction, etc. doesn‘t come up at all.
FTL isn't woke? The game where you play as the diverse Federation against human Rebel supremacists to keep them from enslaving alien races?
Looked up my list and it’s really curious to see the ratings for my favorite games. Some games were marked “woke” for things I absolutely wouldn’t have thought of, while in other games I think some of the messaging flew over their heads.
Woke: Counterstrike, because there are female skins
Not Woke: FTL, where the main goal is to defeat an organization of violent racist facists.
This list is hilarious. It's so inconsistent. Assassin's Creed is woke because of a line in the fucking start screen of the game. Most games I love are woke according to them. What a sad existence must these people have when they cannot play all these great games. Cyberpunk? Woke! Satisfactory? Woke! Hades? Woke! Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor? Both woke! Celeste? Extremely Woke!
They should make a second meme page for it that changes woke to based and reverses the colours while keeping the comments intact.
I tried to check my games list and the browser crashed.
Is that a positive response?
Wow this was incredible. I saved the whole page of my games so I can look back at the absurdity. One of my personal favorites:
Amputees are woke. Who knew?
Practically the only games I’ve played that aren’t woke are Frostpunk - the child slavery simulator. And Overlord, a game where you are literally the villain and command a slave army of gremlins. We live in the satire reality.
Amputees are woke. Who knew?
It’s the accessibility that is considered woke. The tricky part of DEI is that it’s actually DEIA, but that last letter is conveniently never listed when they’re talking about eliminating it. Because they know their conservative voting base is aging, and will increasingly need accessibility features.
Where most of it comes from:
Apparently my library is only slightly woke. I need to work harder.
My game isn't done yet, but uuh how do I apply to be on the woke list?
Add a checkbox that's labeled woke mode, but never explain what it actually does.
you have to enable it to play the game, otherwise your character just keeps sleeping and the game never starts
honk honk shoooo
mimimimimi
Indie game blobun did basically that. Unwoke gamers could disable lesbians from an option in the menu. Selecting this removed the main character, who is canonically lesbian, from the game leaving it unplayable.
Based dev, lesbians les goooo
Looking through the list it seems that adding optional they/them pronouns for the player character is enough.
I love Woke Content Detector. It's sold me on a whole bunch of games over the last few months. I would never have stumbled upon Kitsune Tails without their recommendation. :)
I'm only slightly woke apparently. I need to fix this. Is there any super gay shit i can play?
Well there is this here:
And then of course there is the obvious choice:
And IIRC they also had a handful of (possibly furry) VNs on the list.
Or just Life is Strange
Oml, Garry's Mod is woke for not letting people use swastikas -_-
Here's an option for you!
Gonna ask my bottom surgeon if they can make it sentient
Slay The Spire dodged the woke allegations? Two of the four playable characters, including the objectively strongest one are women. One of the remaining two is... Well, i want to say non-binary but the character is very much binary lmao.
i lol for the final fantasy 15 one
Contains overtly pro-DEI messaging. In Lestallum, women work in the factory while men raise children and take care of the household. There is no explanation for why this is the case.
also ff7 being subtle pro climate messaging and forced ecoterrorism lol fellas is it woke to stop an ancient alien from another world from destroying the planet with a meteor?
Contains overtly pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. Option to make the player character a man married to another man. Features homosexual interactions and romance.
can u believe they put an option to make a male pc marry another man in dream daddy the gay dating simulator? what's this world coming to?
asdklajdklajdakd @ assemble with care: "Contains overtly pro-DEI messaging. The player character is a WOC who can fix any antique. She immediately finds plenty of work in a town she has never been to before. 2 of her 4 clients are also WOC."
I love that "Lonely Mountains: Downhill" isn't woke, even though it gives fine grained control over your characters design, like a "feminine" body with facial hair.
I thought it'd be fun to check the Assassin's Creed games. All super woke for about as absurd reasons as you can imagine. My favorite one though was Assassin's Creed Black Flag which is woke apparently because it shows Mary Reed engaging in crossdressing. Which is funny because if you go to the Wikipedia page for Mary Reed you'll see an 18th century wood engraving of her dressed in men's clothing.
I like how Helldiver's II is "slightly woke."
It's perfect. Because I have seen actual fascist sympathizers get angry about the idea of it being satire.
Hell yeah
My favourite is this one
Surprised they haven’t listed any of the Metal Gear Solid games at all in their database… those are woke as fuck.
Perfect list to buy new games.
Maybe we should have one of these but for socialism-friendly lists; games that are produced for and by a self-organised worker corporative!
