Hello World!

We've made some changes today, and we'd like to announce that our Code of Conduct is no longer in effect. We now have a new Terms of Service, in effect starting from today(October 19, 2023).

The "LAST REVISION DATE:" on the page also signifies when the page was last edited, and it is updated automatically. Details of specific edits may be viewed by following the "Page History" reference at the bottom of the page. All significant edits will also be announced to our users.

The new Terms of Service can be found at https://legal.lemmy.world/

In this post our community mods and users may express their questions, concerns, requests and issues regarding the Terms of Service, and content moderation in Lemmy.World. We hope to discuss and inform constructively and in good faith.

Great idea indeed. The rules for moderators have been in the works for a while, and will hopefully be published very soon.

Thanks for replying. I'd also like to suggest:

Moderators MUST point out in any ban or deletion message what rule was broken and copy the comment in it if it was deleted.
There needs to be a contact that admins moderators (mod for mods) for appealing misbehavior by mods
Group rules must comply with Lemmy's terms of service
Repeated moderator abuse, after warnings, should result in the loss of mod privileges
Bots cannot be used to ban users. A person needs to put some thought into it. For instance, a bot might ban based on forbidden words but the comment may be quoting someone using them.
