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.

You know what I was just going to accept capitalism as is for the rest of my life but now I'm a radical leftist. Whoever made this meme took it just a step too far.
Good. Golf is fucking stupid and requires huge amounts of space that could be used for parks instead
That's capitalist golf.
Good, ethical golf of the proletariat happens anywhere you can place a can and the worse the terrain, the better the game.
Getting the ball up into the can is quite a challenge, innit?
Virtual golf is a thing now. It's like a giant video game.
Basically, you hit a ball into a projection screen. It has fancy laser trackers that works out direction, distance and spin. You can even select to play famous courses anywhere in the world, where they'd never let you in, and you couldn't afford anyways.
Doesn't take much room at all. Indoors with all the creature comforts
- no
- lol
Golf may be lost forever? Like the communists are going to erase this post and my comment from the internet, for good? Are the communists in the room with you right now, sir, ma'am, zir?
Golf courses can fight AI data centers for water
that looks like garlic in the thumbnail
aha you're roght ! still does if I squint at the big image
Fun fact: Che played golf. Story goes that he taught Casto how to play because he was set to meet with Eisenhower and golf is where he did his diplomacy. Castro was looking for US support for the revolution. Nixon interceded and wound up putting Castro in the other group... which included the Russian Ambassador.
You can tell them, that Communism is long dead and no one in Iran gives any shits about it. They don't want communism. They want religious and cultural identity with full-scale nationalism. They could have long joined the Russian or Chinese bloc by now. They already had their working civilian fission reactors by now if they did. But they are too proud to be a vassal. They want to be their own bloc.
What does Iran have to do with this?
But do they play golf at the Gulf?
LIV has had to cancel a lot of tournaments XD
Would
Honestly, I'd like to think there's a middle ground where we place golf courses in more ethically sound locations. Right now, a lot of courses are just gigantic resource sinks sitting on real-estate that could be put to better use.
Better to place then on land reclaimed from strip mining, cemeteries, or other low-productivity locations.
I've never understood why golf couldn't have different terrain (in the way that tennis does). Wouldn't it make golf more interesting if you had to play on a clay course? I feel like this would make sense in places like Arizona. Adapt the sport to the environment.
You're describing putt-putt golf.
While I agree wholeheartedly, it has one fundamental problem: dirt. If there's one thing that golf courses aren't, it's dirty. The sport has a lot of class and image tied up in it, and I highly doubt that you'll get many of those folks out into the clay like that. You'd be creating a whole new extreme form of golf, instead.
Good, if a bunch of prissy pissant profligates get fucked over all the better. If ya want to play golf go somewhere where the environment can actually support the original course type, if I want to camp in the woods I don't try to terra form the local regional park into a forest I go to the mountains where there are more than 2 trees per square yard.
There's at least one course in my area that uses the income to help the surrounding nature. Plus they have strict rules regarding what areas you're allowed to go during bird breeding seasons
Arguably the worst part would be the large area of grass. But even that is mostly offset by them maintaining the somewhat "wild" spots between the courses and the area being grassy to begin with
They are also quite affordable, so it's not a snobby rich club. So it's basically a nice way for people to enjoy nature and walk around more
It's possible. Sadly the minority
Lived a few years in Aberdeen, the birthplace of golf.
over there it makes sense. That grass grows naturally, everyone has a golf court at a walking distance, fun sociable walk (about 9 to 18km of walking), carts are practically banned there. it isn't a rich hobby.
On a nice day you can see everyone golfing, even if it is a couple kids with a couple of clubs (no need for a whole set which you still have to carry).
It's a genuine people's sport.
Everywhere else? where you need lots of water and land to maintain, and it's only for rich cunts with golf carts? fuck that.
I bet the lower parts of Scotland (and probably most of the higher areas, too) was forest before humans started cultivating it.
probably, don't want to get into exactly what's natural or not. but it has plenty of grass dunes seas, put in a few sheep and you have perfect grass for golf.
That reminds me of when I was a kid and I and my family would play the home-made hybrid game "croquet golf" on our (very uneven) lawn. It was really fun. Essentially, it was golf rules with croquet equipment. My dad dug nine holes in our lawn for that game.
that makes a lot of sense. colonization and rich flaunting has the effect of transposing things to where they make no sense and requires destruction to make work at all. example that comes to my mind is how cheap concrete and steel construction being imposed on third world countries by its neocolonizers, places where its expensive to create and makes construction worse bc its not suitable for every environment. and the rich of third world countries picking glass metal generic skyscrapers to flaunt their wealth, constructing them in places where its horrible
I've alienated many relatives by responding to things lie this with "LMAO that's exactly how a dumb shit republican thinks! Damn, I didn't know you could be this funny!" or something along those lines.
Oddly, they never seem to respond unless it's like 3 months later at a family gathering when they have had time to think of a reply...
jeez you don't have to sell it to me harder.
what I would pay to live in that dream....

On day one of my presidency I will abolish all forms of golf except mini. Don't vote for me but pls abolish golf
I'd like to keep just one golf course but add giant versions of mini golf obstacles. Golfers would probably hate it but they need some more whimsy
Hey, you leave disc golf alone.
Disc golf is superior
- low barrier to entry
- frequently free to play
- great use of public parks/land
- low upkeep
- way more interesting to watch
- environmentally friendly
- many discs made of recycled plastics
- not played by mostly stuck up assholes
me and my dad talked about this a couple days ago, my favourite part is that you can literally just cut down a few choice trees to create a disc golf course, so they're lovely places to be in as well.
Meanwhile golf courses give me a migraine from all the open unshaded space..
Good
Communist golf is where everyone shares the same ball and has to dodge cowpats in the communal pasture as they play.
Anarchocommunist golf is where you spend the day trying to track down the golf clubs someone took from the communal tool shed without telling anyone.
And then of course the weirdest variant of all is capitalist golf, where it can only be played on scrupulously maintained private property and you have to pay like $1800 per year for access.
Your gold club has an access fee? How pedestrian. Ours is a private golf club only open to shareholders to ensure that only the right people can access it, and none of those new money creeps can make it in
