Hello !perchance community!
The current moderation team for !perchance has been inactive for a while, so the admin team has stepped in temporarily to help keep the queue clear and find new volunteer moderators from the community.
Interested in Moderating !perchance?
If you enjoy this community and would like to help keep it welcoming, spam-free, and well-maintained:
- Reply in the comments below or send a Direct Message to @ieh.
- Let us know if you have any prior moderation experience (not required!) and what you’d like to see for the community.
(Note: If any of the previous moderators return in the future, they are always welcome to reach out to the admin team as well!)
Requirements and notes:
- Reports do not get sent for moderators without a lemmy.world account, so if you have an account on a different instance, you’d need to create one here and check it daily for reports (takes a few seconds at most)
- Most communities get reports infrequently, often once per week or less. Although sometimes more. Checking daily is important
- Moderate fairly according to the community rules. Everyone has to make subjective calls, but try to be objective
- Enforce the Lemmy.World ToS
If you have any questions, would like to volunteer, please reply below!
Wouldn’t it make sense for the same mods here to also moderate Reddit?
the moderation changing decision is from Lemmy own self - a higher level class than the Perchance Lemmy community. And totally irrelevant to Reddit. In this particular case.
I’m interested in helping out.
I have prior moderation experience, including managing a Discord server (~50 members) for several months and administrating an AI furry generator platform for 2 years (with 7.8M traffic). I have also been an active member of this community for 2.5 years.
Regarding what I’d like to see or enforce, my approach would be to maintain the status quo. I prefer to play a conservative and defensive role—simply making sure the forum strictly follows the established community rules and Lemmy’s TOS, without introducing major changes.
However, I did notice something curious: the former mod (and developer of Perchance), user “perchance”, is still active and last replied just 1 day ago. Furthermore, the last mod log entry here was just 4 days ago (“reason: racism”). Because of this, the statement that “the current moderation team… has been inactive for a while, so the admin team has stepped in” worries me a bit.
Therefore, I would like to offer my help as a caretaker proxy to maintain the queue and keep the community stable, waiting for the rightful staff’s return.
The OP has only joined Lemmy 4 months ago and has made looking for more mod posts in multiple communities in the last 24 hours that they are now an admin on. This is looking a little suspect now. I think the community may have been hacked.
I hope you’ll at least return @[email protected] to the admins/moderators - after all, he’s the creator of this community and of Perchance as a whole, lol
Whoah our dev lost the mod flair.
Hi there! I’ve been in the perchance community for a while now, and I’d love to help moderate to keep it a better place, if given the chance. It’s fun to chat in the comments and such, but there have been a few safety issues in the past, and I’d like to help resolve those issues ^^
I might be misunderstanding but I didn’t see the scope of the moderation.
Is that’s about the whole Perchance ecosystem (whole platform site + Reddit + Lemmy + discord), or just gallery + comment plugin, only comment plugin, or in some offcial gen comment only, or actually only Lemmy here?
Looks like Lemmy only because the red A means Lemmy admin?
I think it’s reasonable to request moderator, but meanwhile it’s a bit surprising because the most common trolling in my observation is downvote bombarding, which might be hard to moderate against with
Yes, I am an admin here on Lemmy.World, and this is about the Lemmy.World community.
One thing I’m hoping to discuss with new mod(s) is making it more clear to the community here that Lemmy.World has nothing to do (outside of this community) with perchance, as we receive occasional support requests regarding the perchance site, which of course we have nothing to do with. :)
We’re glad to have this community here, mind!
I see, alright then! Would you consider me?
I consider all applicants. You’re already on the list as you’d replied already :)
Hey! I’d like to moderate I’m highly familiar with the community and I bring a unique perspective to specific safety issues
Is there anything I could get with being a moderator?
NOTE: @[email protected] will be staying on as mod, but we’re hoping to get 1-2 or so more volunteers to help process reports in a timely manner :)
