Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.
Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.
Avoid AI generated content.
Avoid misinformation.
Avoid incomprehensible posts.
No threats or personal attacks.

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.

Final fantasy 11:
"DPS how are you?"
(2 hp left) "HASTE ME! HASTE ME! HASTE ME! HASTE ME!"
"...but... You're going to die..."
"HASTE!"
14:
"DPS how are you?"
The DPS is already dead because they were impatient and pulled stuff before the tank could run in
And I swear the guy is going to walk from the spawn point because I sure as hell am not going to raise them.
There’s a fun bit of unspoken communication between the tank and the healer. When a DPS has face-pulled mobs for the fifth or sixth time, it’s like the tank and healer share a short psychic message.
All at once, the tank suddenly refuses to pull mobs off of the DPS. They’ll go out of their way to avoid drawing aggro from those mobs. Beforehand, they were doing some guesswork on how much range their taunts actually had, but now they’re doing legwork to keep those mobs juuuuuuust outside of their taunt range.
At at the exact same time, the healer suddenly stops healing that DPS. DPS calls for heals? “Sorry, low on mana. Figure it out.” “Sorry, on cooldown. Figure it out.” Even when their mana is completely full. All heals get dumped onto other members, and even area heals are placed just out of reach for the problem DPS.
It always happens at exactly the same time, it always catches the problem DPS by surprise, and it’s always glorious to be a part of (I main tank).
FFXIV also has an interesting relationship with story content. Every new player is forced to run through the entire campaign in its entirety, which means seeing a new player in a cutscene for the first time is seen as a good thing by older players. They know exactly where that player is in the plot line, and are excited to be a part of it.
Oh as a main healer, I know exactly what you mean.
I will risk every mana point and cooldown to keep the whole party alive, and I will even cast rescue to pull that poor black mage out of an AOE that they didn't foresee. But start pulling mobs before the tank does for the third time after I warn you and I'm making a macro to specifically skip you when casting heals or swiftcast raise.
However, when a player is new... If I get the message of someone being in a duty for the first time, I'm always happy for them. During endwalker's last boss I always ask the tank for the second limit break in "that" countdown.
I don't have that much free time now, so I can't do mentor roulettes anymore, but I miss them badly. It was so satisfying when you joined a party in which people left because there was a sprout messing up mechanics that nobody explained to them and cleaning them on the first try after you explain them...
if a dps pulls ahead of me that means I was too slow as a tank and should get enmity back asap
DPS: dies
"WTF healer? Why didn't you heal me?!"
