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.

i love little caesars. its the only chain that makes their dough fresh, in-house.

they get a lot of crap for being cheap, but its not total garbage.

[–] jewbacca117 10 points 1 day ago

It's great for the price, the price hasn't gone up, and the owner seems like a decent guy.

It would literally be my go-to if it wasn't so hard on my stomach. I can maybe get away with a single slice and a single piece of crazy bread, but if I eat more than that, my stomach will be upset all night and I'll be belching to attempt to relieve the pressure all night.

But lots of fast food does that to me as an adult, which is why I learned how to do stuff like pizza at home.

It may be location specific. One thing I’ve noticed with pizza places is that different locations (even within a chain) may or may not cut corners on baking time in order to get pizzas out the door faster during peak hours.

Most people seem to be clueless about the texture of undercooked pizza. The telltale sign is gooey dough just underneath the sauce. A lack of browning on the cheese is another sign.

The thing is, since pizza toppings are all cured meats, fully cooked meats, fresh veggies, cheeses, and precooked tomato sauces the pizza itself does not need to be fully cooked to be safe to eat. However, an undercooked pizza can and will give you a lot of gas due to fermentation of the raw dough in your gut.

Next time you might try asking for your pizza well-done, or if it’s a hot n’ ready then try throwing it in an air fryer at 350F for about 4-5 minutes. I, personally, much prefer air-fried crispy pizza over the soft crust from most takeout places.

Years ago I figured out that preferred well done, thanks for explaining why!

Allow me to introduce you to MOD Pizza, Pieology, and Fired Pie. Their dough is so fresh that they make it in front of you. Plus you get unlimited toppings for a flat rate. All three of those places put Caesar to shame.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

And an actual pizzaria puts those places to shame... But sometimes I'm just in the mood for cheap junk food

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

none of those chains exist in my region.

there are plenty of one-off pizza places near me, and i can absolutely make my own pizza better than any of them.. but if i want it fast and now, caesars is on my list.

[–] Psythik 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Shame, cause those places not only make better pizzas with higher quality ingredients, they come out much faster too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago

Wait, you can get much faster than hot'n ready? You give a teenager some money, he immediately hands you a pizza. Do those places see you come in the door and just start throwing pizzas in your general direction before you get to the counter?

[–] idiomaddict 3 points 1 day ago

Tbh, I’d prefer if the dough had, say, 12 hours to ferment before the pizza gets made. My husband does a 36 hour sourdough pizza dough that’s incredible.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They're nice and good as a treat but too expensive to be a normal stop

[–] Psythik 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They're literally cheaper than Little Caesar's. Especially if you like a lot of toppings like me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Yes that is the key. Only get one topping to stick to the budget.
