No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
It's probably less about the legal consquences of people's actions, and more about the maintaining the rules and guidelines of communities / instances. Sure, it's visible if you explicitly go looking for it, but no one's going to be browsing Lemmy exclusively through the modlogs.
I'm going to go do that now out of spite.
I sometimes paruse the modlog. Mostly just to keep the mods honest. Few months ago, I saw one mod had banned a guy from like 20 communities all at once, and in the reasoning, he said something like "banned the lib". Me questioning that very publically forced him to explain himself, because now EVERYBODY was wanting to know the answers to my questions.
Without the modlog, I'd never have known a guy was banned 20 times, and I'd have never questioned it. I still wish the system here were better than just a modlog. I want the ability to vote out moderators. I want the ability for moderators to explain their case.
Because right now, we're essentially reddit, but fragmented. But I DO occasionally look through the mod log.
If an admin bans a local user, they're banned once, but if they ban a remote user, the way Lemmy currently handles it is to ban them from every community they've subscribed to. There's an Issue about it because it's a hacky and incomplete solution. As such, the 'banned 20 times' thing isn't something that people should read too much into.
Lol I don't "go through modlogs" but everytime I see a removed comment, I make sure to check the mod logs using the dropdown menu thingy when you tap the 3 dots, just to see whay it says. Especially if it has a few upvotes.
Probably some "The Adjuster" stuff that mods don't want to get in trouble for.
