Hello !perchance community!

The current moderation team for !perchance has been inactive for a while, so the admin team has stepped in temporarily to help keep the queue clear and find new volunteer moderators from the community.

Interested in Moderating !perchance?

If you enjoy this community and would like to help keep it welcoming, spam-free, and well-maintained:

  • Reply in the comments below or send a Direct Message to @ieh.
  • Let us know if you have any prior moderation experience (not required!) and what you'd like to see for the community.

(Note: If any of the previous moderators return in the future, they are always welcome to reach out to the admin team as well!)

Requirements and notes:

  • Reports do not get sent for moderators without a lemmy.world account, so if you have an account on a different instance, you'd need to create one here and check it daily for reports (takes a few seconds at most)
  • Most communities get reports infrequently, often once per week or less. Although sometimes more. Checking daily is important
  • Moderate fairly according to the community rules. Everyone has to make subjective calls, but try to be objective
  • Enforce the Lemmy.World ToS

If you have any questions, would like to volunteer, please reply below!

​I'm interested in helping out.

​I have prior moderation experience, including managing a Discord server (~50 members) for several months and administrating an AI furry generator platform for 2 years (with 7.8M traffic). I have also been an active member of this community for 2.5 years.

​Regarding what I'd like to see or enforce, my approach would be to maintain the status quo. I prefer to play a conservative and defensive role—simply making sure the forum strictly follows the established community rules and Lemmy's TOS, without introducing major changes.

​However, I did notice something curious: the former mod (and developer of Perchance), user "perchance", is still active and last replied just 1 day ago. Furthermore, the last mod log entry here was just 4 days ago ("reason: racism"). ​Because of this, the statement that "the current moderation team... has been inactive for a while, so the admin team has stepped in" worries me a bit.

​Therefore, I would like to offer my help as a caretaker proxy to maintain the queue and keep the community stable, waiting for the rightful staff's return.
