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.

Including Paw Patrol?
Especially Paw Patrol.
friends don't let friends raise their kids on the police state
Seriously if anyone has kids, have them watch some of the shows on PBS Kids. Most are far less annoying than the slop Disney's been producing for the 2-6 age group, and all are far more educational.
Like, Daniel tiger is annoying but at least teaches good stuff (I've literally referenced it while teaching my kids something to help reinforce), but there's some really good shows on there like Molly from Denali, Alma's Way, Hero Elementary, Wild Krats, and Carl the Collector. Better paced, better animation and a million times better writing, plus they all happen to be shows from different human perspectives than just a random talking mouse or talking dog teaching a corporate-approved malaise

In regards to paw patrol, I feel that
- The cop dog is constantly saving the day even by doing other dogs' jobs even when he shouldn't be stepping in
- There are no clever stories in that universe
- Every single problem they face could be permanently solved by a Belgian Malinois with a Barret 50cal

ACAB includes B99
(Except Rosa, she quit)
I heard (don't remember where, could be true, could be right out of someone's ass) that the reason the show ended is many of them started feeling bad about doing a light-hearted fun show about cops. Basically the actors all started feeling like Rosa.
- The writing staff literally threw out their scripts and rewrote the final season to try addressing the climate surrounding police violence.
- Stephanie Beatriz tweeted that any actor who makes high number residuals from producing copaganda should donate part of their checks to organizations combating police violence and corruption—she included a screenshot of her $11,000 donation to a couple of charities.
- On the show, her character, Rosa, literally stated that George Floyd was the reason she couldn't continue working as a cop and instead became a PI who investigates corruption on behalf of civilian victims.
- The cast and crew collectively donated $100,000 to combat police corruption and violence.
- The main villain of the final season was lawyer or union leader or whatever who enabled and encouraged police corruption, citing anti-white hate and how it's racist to call someone racist.
- I think it was Terry Crews who said in an interview that the show considered how it could possibly evolve into less problematic first responders or something, but that anything other than pointing out their issues and ending the show felt wrong. I can't remember exactly what was said, and I'd already spent far too much time reading interviews to refresh my memory.
- Andre Braugher reflected on his career of copaganda and how he himself had fallen into the trap of how the media sweeps the police problem under the rug.
I'm sure there's other stuff, but I've already spent an inappropriate amount of time on this comment.
Fin.
Who's Rosa?
One of the characters in the show. I think she quit to become a P.I. because she didn't want to be a part of a bigoted system anymore.
She quit to be a P.I. that specifically investigated police misconduct. There was a great episode where she got water tight evidence to nail a cop and brought it to the police commissioner, who thanked her and destroyed it.
The commissioner believed that prosecuting the cop would have gotten her removed from office and “someone worse” would take over, and she considered herself “one of the good ones.”
it was a captain working towards commissioner, but yeah, that's the episode summary. it ends with jake, the writer's room's go to self insert character, saying "i guess i am part of the problem and figuring out how to fix that is harder than i thought"
the final episodes leave the impression that jakes decision to retire is driven solely by fatherhood, but the overall season implies that jake both wants to be a present father and to raise a son who has a dad who's a former cop rather than a cop. obviously he still supports his cop wife, amy, but i think there's a lot of meat there to that jake views her work reforming the nypd and their sexist biggoted ways that he's spent the last 2 years finally seeing as important to making new york a meaningfully better place.
i also think it's important to note that one of jake's last acts as a police detective is slipping a pen into his non-violent criminal friend's pocket so he can escape from prison.
look. brooklyn 99 is copaganda but it's the one piece of copaganda i recommend people check out because there's very much eras to it and as a piece of media it reveals an interesting shift in american politics. it's a unique relic for this reason, and it's probably the safest piece of copaganda to expose someone to without risking them leaving thinking the police stats is good. but anyway the eras of brooklyn 99 are:
- uncritical celebration of the television staples of workplace comedy and cop show
- cop show as social critique of racial injustice with an undercritical view of the role of copaganda in racial injustice
- hopeful projection of what would be possible if community policing was focused on care rather than punishment
- exhausted and frustrated deconstruction of copaganda, seemingly from the perspective of that the making of this show that they had loved working on, and loved working on together, was from the beginning a naive mistake
and remember kids: problematic media from a prior age should be celebrated for having become problematic. problematic media from a prior age means the overall narrative has shifted. brooklyn 99 was once beloved by liberal audiences and now leaves them uncomfortable. brooklyn 99 hasn't changed. it can't. it's over. but the culture's relationship to it has because our shared understanding of ourselves and eachother has. now we can get our detective show fix from something like Poker Face where the detective is a drifter on the run from the mafia and the fbi, and all the cops are in the pocket of a powerful rich man.

ACAB includes:
- The goth chick from NCIS.
- The fuckable bunny from Zootopia.
- The cyborg lady from Ghost in the Shell.
- That cool cyborg cop from Robocop.
And many more...
It feels like Robocop spent more time fighting other law enforcement than anybody else

Does ACAB include Ghost in the Shell's Major Motoko Kusanagi?
yes, though I hesitate to call GITS copoganda as a whole. There's definitely some iterations of it that are, but there's also some that show that the ruling class controlling Section 9 are corrupt, and Kusanagi has to leave the force to pursue justice because the cops can't provide it.
does it include the tatchkomas? (forgive spelling, old lazy stoned guy)
Tell me you haven't read the manga without telling me you haven't read the manga by asking that question…
Yes, it applies to her, like a hundred times over! Coming from someone who disagrees with ACAB. But that woman is just flat out a murderous criminal. The animes really play it down, but
The Ghost in the Shell (original manga)
She literally ends up taking a hostage with the plan of faking her own death in the following hostage rescue to escape murder charges after comparing her work killing some guy (who didn’t really do anything besides sitting on a chair) that she spotted a mere second earlier (her correction to the prosecutor: “0.82 seconds”) to that of a “waste treatment plant” in trial.
Her biggest smile in the entire manga is in the recollection of when she was setting things up so that a known terrorist will shoot his own underage son through a door. (“The kid was like sixteen, but he was bragging about how he killed two of our men.”)

does it include lieutenant Kim Kitsuragi from Disco Elysium?
Please. Delete this. I’ll pretend I didn’t see it
my playthrough of disco elysium involved my dubois committing a ton of time to useless shit specifically because ACAB, even if me and this delightful man are those cops. so some simple sabotage is in order. we're just gonna waste a bunch of time doing nothing
Sooooort of. Look at what the revachol citizens militia actually is
But also yes, look at the shit he lets you get away with while being the only obe empowered to stop you.

ACAB includes Captain Raymond Holt from Brooklyn 99.
they literally shut down the show because of BLM (as in, they didn't want to do copaganda anymore due to BLM opening their eyes)
How dare you
He is a character meant to uphold the idea that the system can be changed from within while making the police force out to be a kookie fun place.
A fun show, at least until season 5 started explaining the punchlines, but it’s not without issue.

It includes my cat, when she seizes control of her cardboard house and polices it so the other cat stays away. She's a cute bastard, but still a bastard!
Oh wait she's always a bastard, even when not being a cop. Because she can't stop being a cat. So I guess it's more "ACAB" for "all cats are bastards" in her case.

Does ACAB include judge Dred?
He is technically a judge.....
Imma be pedantic about this one: judges are not in the same part of the three separate parts of power as the police (at least commonly in democracies). Technically they are supposed to keep the cops in check and be a neutral independent instance.
In reality: most judges are bastards too if you have any qualm with the police, because that often translates to problems with state authority which includes them as well, which more often than not makes them allies to the cops.

ACAB includes the two pairs of shoes walking towards the camera in the intro to The Bill in the 90s.
All Cops Are Bastards
Or
Assigned Cunt At Birth
All Capybaras Are Best.
Abby is a character designed to give cops/federal agents a good PR makeover. As sweet, vulnerable, firey and lovable as she is, the reason behind her character makes her AB.
The actor doesn't appear to be a bad person through.
I guess that depends on whether you consider lab technicians cops.
Nobody will ever convince me that it applies to Olivia Benson. I'll die on this hill (probably death by cop).
