Hello Lemmy moderators!

The Lemmy.World administrator team is planning to release a Moderator Code of Conduct for Lemmy soon.

Even though there will be some basic principles we will follow, which can be found here, we still need your valuable input. We’d like to hear your suggestions on what to add to this Code of Conduct, as you know best about what you want and need.

This Code of Conduct would lay out the official rules, set principles and goals for Lemmy.World moderators, and for any other instance that wishes to follow it.

With Love,
The Lemmy.World Administrator (Team)

    at first I was gonna disagree with

    Avoid permanent bans

    but your point on

    permanent bans just lead to the user making a different account and not learning from their mistake.

    makes a lot of sense👍

    permanent bans probably makes sense when the person reapeatedly fails to learn after a couple of progressive bans(/suspensions?)

      Permanent bans probably make sense when the person repeatedly fails to learn after a couple of progressive bans(/suspensions?)

      Correct, let’s encourage a community member to learn and grow. Perma banning causes instant anger and leads to more drama. With progressive bans, users understand the consequences of their actions and that they will get longer until they are permanent.
