we need to give the #lgbtq channel a bit of a rebirth. it is clear we need to set some boundaries.

#

so first thing I have to say

stable thorn
#

what kind of boundaries?

tall hull
#

what is allowed and not allowed?

If I understood them correctly, they just want guidelines for what is allowed and what isn't in #lgbtq

#info-rules would be the place to start, I'm not sure what isn't clear from reading that

tall hull
#

because the thing about lgbtq that is kind of conflicting is that

#

we have a no nsfw rule, but what do we define that as?

#

the lgbtq channel is used to talk about sexuality sometimes but not really in depth enough to be NSFW

its an LGBTQ channel, not a roleplay channel

or references

#

the roleplay going on in #lgbtq is pretty suggestive in my opinion but no matter how you frame it, it is not the channels purpose

#

its gotta calm down or the moderators gonna burn it down and its gonna be an LGB-BBQ channel 😂 💀

Part of the issue is I'm the gay mod but have been less and less active as of late

#

And vegan is a straighto so doesn't look at the channel

#

I have told people off in that channel a lot and wish people would not be nsfw

dire ice
#

100% the above

#

Though another part of the problem I think is people don’t get the mods involved for things when they should, what changed yesterday was someone alerted us to a situation which happened to cover several issues, and lead to a lot of action

yeah true

#

maybe you should get an lgbtq mod tho 🤔

# sweet robin What situation

Related to the behaviour here, obviously, but I'm not going to go into detail on what a private ticket to the mods contained, the situation is at present resolved, I merely hope to keep it that way 🙂

Okay

#

Don’t gotta be mad

Oh; it was tonal I guess

# sweet robin Oh; it was tonal I guess

not sure what you mean by that, but tone isn't always easy to read on the internet, I'm frequently told I'm angry, mad etc. for voicing disagreement with people, but I rarely am in an enraged emotional state

sweet robin
#

Doesn’t help that I’m on the spectrum and we are an ocean away

#

So tone in text comes off differently

# dire ice I don't know what this means

Like I’m not going to argue over what terms people use to describe themselves; don’t be imperialist over other peoples terms and use the most accepted ones when talking in general🤷‍♀️

#

okay this is going off topic fast, if you want to talk about why it's important to try and avoid over-pathologising things like being autistic feel free to tag me in #off-topic or #controversial-archive 🙂

and I'm very active

#

i think that we should more require verification or something to chat in LGBTQ channel to prevent trolls

#

maybe like a 30 min time to start chatting in there, or have special mod appointed members and mods verify people would be the better but more complicated option

Also off-topic and lgbt are sometimes unrecognisable
