      It is mass media that has made people talk similar. It used to be every county, in the UK and US, would have a distinct accent.

      Since mass media, only the regions that want to keep their accents have them.

        Absolutely, a singular “British accent” is something that only Americans seem to think exists, and they usually mean RP (the posh accent found mostly in the south east of England).

        Scotland, England, Wales, all part of Britain, and all have plenty of wildly different accents within them. Compare Geordie, West Country, Cockney, Scouse, and Brummie. Even the accents between Scotland’s two main cities, Glasgow and Edinburgh, are completely different.

        So yeah, if someone says they love a “British accent” just respond in Glaswegian and see how they like it!

          Oh, aye, in truth the Scots tongue is by far my favourite! I sadly do not speak it; but between an English leid and a Scots one I’d love to speak the latter. Yola would’ve been cool too.

          Geordie (Yorkshire) and West Country are also a pleasure to listen to, in earnest

      There are many British accents, you will have to be more specific. Personally, I find the Yorkshire one rather charming. However, that is the opinion of someone from the DEEP Ottawa Valley.

    Some might have a strong accent, at least it’s not as bad as how much Americans rapes the English language. I mean, they can’t even say aluminium properly.

      I’m just going to sprinkle the letter z all over the place, which they will be unable to pronounce, which will erroneously replace the letter s.

      Serialization, ewwww, just look at it.

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.
