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 feel like there would be a catgirl-shaped hole in the other wall.
as a non American, can someone tell me if it's real/novelty/ actually shots?
These are commonly called "combination guns". Usually you get 2 different calibers, typically one shotgun and one in a rifle caliber. They were used in hunts where you'd encounter different types of game (requiring different calibers) or one type of game at different distances (imagine shooting relatively far at a large animal and using a rifle, then it turns and runs towards you so you can quickly switch to a shotgun with a slug load).
Often these are called "drilling" guns, with the rifle caliber in the middle. This one is fairly unique given the number of barrels, and that they all look like shotgun calibers. My guess the big one is probably a 10 gauge in the middle.
I usually associate these types of guns with African large game hunts, and British or German manufacturers.
These are pretty rare nowadays, they're crazy heavy and modern loads can compensate for the shortcomings old loads encountered.
Yeah, not 100% sure but that looks like maybe... 4 .410 barrels and one 12 gauge, possibly 10 gauge as you say?
My guess would be this thing has at least two triggers, its got two visible ... percussion cap? hammers?
I... I think this is like, a modern, custom, 'reproduction' type thing...
I guess its possible it could be an actual like... 150+ yo custom gun?
That... seems less likely though?
Also... presumably that little flipper like thing on the right of this image, and... probably at least one other lever, maybe further down the butt stock, out of frame... would be needed to switch between different 410 barrels or the 12 gauge barrel, or ... something?
Unless it just fires ... everything at once.
Which... is possible, but that'd knock probably most people on their ass or fly out of their hands or break your collarbone/face lol.
But yeah, a total of 5 barrels is so uncommon I am inclined to think it is at this point basically a one of a kind heirloom, or more likely a more modern custom job by a gunsmith who specializes in wacky shit, lol.
Could be percussion caps, could have a stiker firing mechanism that just looks like the old school percussion cap style hammers externally...?
...
My family had at one point an over-under rifle/shotgun combo, but it was just .22lr and .410, just two barrels, break open... but from like the 1950s or 60s, with more modern firing mechanisms.
It had one trigger, and a sort of switch/lever to change the single hammer from striking either chamber, and then a button, kinda like a mag release on a pistol, to allow you to break it open to extract and reload.
Think it might have been a Savage 24, wood housing... but the stock actually developed a nasty crack and iirc, we just sold it at a discount to some gunshop who would replace the stock and then sell it.
Given that hammer arrangement it wouldn't surprise me if it fires two small barrels at once.
thank you helpful American.
that was actually very informative
Looks like a gun cat themed pirates would have in One Piece.
She'd better know how to plaster if she's gonna do shit like that. Or be quick on the reload and force me to do it I guess. I'm fine with either.
