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.

It’s the broccoli cheddar ipa of the internet.
You created a whole new sentence.
Other Half is a LEGENDARY brewery. They just name things so weird to get attention. I went to their location in Brooklyn when I was in NYC at the start of my brewery crawl and was already buzzed when I left because I love their beer too much. I actually had their base Broccoli beer when I was there! Just a juicy imperial IPA!
I'm surprised this is allowed. Europe has fairly strict rules against displaying food that's not actually in the ingredient list. I guess in the US it is allowed?
There is a lot of weirdness. For a long time now, anything alcohol doesn't have to list its ingredients
Ingredients: Beer
Well, yes and no. There are strict regulations on what you can call your alcohol, especially if it’s distilled. Beer has to be made with malt or a malt substitute. But anything else added will not be included.
Also, every beer/cider/wine/etc label also has to be reviewed and approved, and it can’t be misleading. One thing that is not approved is obscene imagery, which is why you don’t see pornographic or overtly sexual labels.
It’s just the name. Does European Lucky Charms actually increase your luck?
Lucky Charms are banned in several European countries 😂
Ngl everytime I see IPA my brain translate it to isopropyl alcohol and I was literally confused about the phrase!
international phonetic alphabet
Same, I though it is a fast drying ipa.
Just the name of the beer, it doesn't actually contain either
If that's true it's very poor marketing imo. Who tf wants to drink broccoli
My family knows I like IPAs but to them IPA just means the can has a weird design on it. Normally they're good but one time they got a bunch of triple milkshake IPA and I can't stand those they're like canned bread.
Beer is like canned bread to me, in a good way. I don’t understand this criticism.
and indeed that's literally the whole point of beer, and since both beer and bread uses yeast you can use the same yeast for both, efficient!
Tbf, milkshake IPAs are only good on tap. Straight ass in a can
Depends on who you’re buying them from. Most of them have fruit or are heavily hopped and need to be refrigerated. I’ve had tons of good milkshakes in a can, but I gotta make sure they’re fresh, or I’m storing them in the fridge for less than a month when sharing.
That's the problem I run into. Most at the store are way past a month.
This is what's in the hand of the man explaining the granularities of his office job to some poor woman at a house party
Hey a blue checkmark, it's like two jokes in one.
I'd try a broccoli cheddar beer before literally any IPA. Yuck.
But this is an IPA
And it is for that reason alone that I will not drink it.
I honestly don’t get the hype. They literally taste like earwax
i mean, all beer does lol
fuck knows why you'd add bittering agents to a beverage, like mmm yes today i want to drink something poison flavour
It's a preservative.
ah right, so you can put off drinking the stuff for longer, makes sense!
Exactly! I certainly don't want to drink something that's dominated by the taste of preservative.
Beer (and wine) has to be really sweet at the start of the fermenting process, because that sugar is what feeds the yeast. If you don't add any hops, then the resulting beverage tends to be malty sweet and very one dimensional. The hops cut down and balance the sweetness.
you mean if you don't add hops it's actually malty and enjoyable? wow, now i hate beer even more!
You can get those kinds of beers.
Same. I don't get why people are so crazy about IPA, or any strongly-hopped beer style. And why Guinness and Kilkenny are the only two British or Irish beers sold here (Kilkenny is good but it gets old drinking the same beer all the time, and Guinness only works for me when it's on tap).
OH has some good stuff despite the oddball names.
So does this taste like broccoli?
Not at all. It's a "hazy" IPA. The style is New England IPA.
Love a New England IPA. Having a Tiny Rebel one right now.
I guess it could be like beer cheese soup? When beer cheese soup is good, it's really good. But you wouldn't use an IPA for that. Usually use a pilsner.
Probably tastes more like a cheesy broccoli soup fart.
I was in a ska band called Cheesy Broccoli Soup Fart. We were terrible.
It actually contains neither broccoli nor cheese
Any plain can with a sticker has that taste.
If you've ever home brewed you know exactly what I mean.
on top of that they're always the most expensive beer in the store.
"I fucked up and tried to cover the off flavors with a small mountain of hops"
Literally every IPA ever.
I'd try it
I’d have to, out of sheer curiosity
This is part of why I don't drink any more. What happens if you find your new favourite thing and it was a joke that will literally never be made again?
but mostly because I kept getting sours that sounded amazing but where consistently the worst thing I have ever tasted
