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.

Oh, wait I bet we can write a decent anime plot around this...
See there's this thing called the Waffle House Index:
The measure is based on Waffle House's reputation for staying open during extreme weather and for reopening quickly, albeit sometimes with a limited menu, after very severe weather events such as tornadoes or hurricanes. The chain's disaster preparedness measures include assembling and training "Waffle House jump teams" to facilitate fast reopening after disasters.
Our hero is having a normal day working the griddle, when suddenly a kaiju destroys half the town. The hero works hard to get the restaurant open, making good use of the disaster recovery planning, and helps feed people whose homes have been destroyed, as well as the emergency response workers that come to town.
Their work is noticed, and they are recruited to join the Waffle House Jump Team as a specialist on responding to kaiju incidents. From there it's like Evangelion, but instead of fighting and killing the monsters, the hero learns about different types through experience and develops (increasingly extreme and improbable) ways to prepare the Waffle House to survive kaiju incidents and reopen quickly, eventually leading to Waffle House creating a mech to defend and repair its locations. (End Season 1)
The reveal of the prototype mech provides the hook for Season 2.
"Deploy the yellow smoke for the waffle-copter supply drop!"
"Man, this deployment in [southeast state] is really testing my grits..."
"Waffle-coptor" is going to live in my brain for the rest of my life, long after the context of its origins has been forgotten. Sometimes I'll giggle, sometimes I'll wonder where the hell that came from. But the worst occasions will be when I try looking up waffle-coptor memes to refresh my memory, and walk away feeling completely insane because I found nothing and no one else believes me that it was a thing.
I FLEW THROUGH TIME AND NOW I MARRIED A WAFFLE HOUSE EMPLOYEE IN ATLANTA -The Animation
While not an anime here's an animation about blahaj goes to waffle house at 3am🤗
This is one of the best things I've ever seen 💕
I'm glad you enjoyed it🤗
There is an anime about a S rank adventurer who retires to open a restaurant and gets into shenanigans as he helps sad patrons of his restaurant and former teammates and villains try to get him to unretire.

I wish, in the real world, Waffle House didn't sack this lady for catching the chair
Waffle House employees are allowed to fight, I doubt she got fired.
Edit: nevermind, I looked it up
What! Why?

She's just a meatsuit made by an immortal cosmic being
Cosmic being is a furry, this their fursuit.
which one?
I'm with you mate. I ain't crunk but damn, coffee girl is fine AF.
There's a story I heard once about how fans kept telling the creator of Street Fighter that they should create a level at a Waffle House or maybe in the parking lot. And how the Creator didn't get it cuz you know he's from Japan and he'd only been to the West Coast of America. So people were falling over themselves to explain the Horrors and wonders of Waffle House to this bewildered game developer.
sounds something kojima would do
i never played his games but that's i feel like his personality is like
The worst part about this is that they reversed the reading order. Goddamnit, if we're talking anime, then we're talking manga, and that shit gets read right-to-left!
Ah, but it is manhua by a Vietnamese artist posted in English by its creator. There are a lot of asian countries that do left to right instead of right to left.
Then your title is wrong. Grumpy grump grump.
oops 🤭
No, no, you are not in the wrong. They've made animes from manhuas before. Tower of god, or tower of druaka, for example. In the words of an esquire, just pretend I'm not being an unreasonable asshole and hold onto my hand.
I'm not familiar with Waffle House, what's the context?
Waffle House is a restaurant chain mostly available in southern US states that has a bit of a reputation. They're generally open 24/7, so drunks more commonly wander in and get into fights with each other and the staff. It's not like you'll go to one and suddenly enter into a street fighting tournament, but it's definitely a place where you're more likely to see shit.
It's also famous for being equipped to stay open during extreme weather because it operates in the most hurricane prone states in country, as well as a fun area called Tornado Alley. This led to the development of the Waffle House Index, where the severity of a disaster can be determined by how much of the menu is available. If the full menu is available, the damage isn't critical. If the menu is limited, you have serious problems. If the Waffle House is closed, the situation is likely apocalyptic.
Its not all drunken fights, theres also drunken singing.
Thank you! Huh.. it seems reminiscent of a local restaurant in my city, though without the tornadoes. Sounds like a good time lol
I live on Vancouver Island. I got to eat at a Waffle House for the first time last summer. One of the ones on Cocoa Beach FL. It was glorious.
