Hello world,
due to the large volume of recent troll posts and comments, as well as the absence of community moderators, we have decided to lock down this community until we have found some new moderators.
If you wish to apply as a moderator, you’ll need to have an actively used Lemmy account, and you will need to use a Lemmy.World account for moderation, as you will otherwise not reliably receive reports in the community.
If you’d like to help with moderation, but you don’t currently have a Lemmy.World account, you’re welcome to apply anyway, as long as you’re willing to create a Lemmy.World account to take care of moderation and reviewing reports if we decide to select you as moderator.
We also ask that you provide a short description of how you want to see the community in the future. This does not have to be in detail, but it’d still be great if you could describe e.g. rule changes you’d be looking at. Please also take a look at our Community Moderation Guidelines and keep in mind that the Lemmy.World ToS apply to this community. You can apply by using one of the following options:

  • leave a comment here saying that you’d be willing to moderate
  • send us an email to info @ our instance domain
  • send me a pm on Lemmy with your application

If you’re not looking to apply as a moderator for this community, you might still be able to help shape this community by describing how you would imagine this community in the future. You can also take a look at https://lemmy.world/post/12568610, which already has several comments discussing the current state of this community.

      !news@lemmy.world rule 1 is as follows:

      Be civil: Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

      I’m the one that banned you, after numerous complaints about a large amount of your comments were in violation of this rule for multiple reasons.
