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
We welcome the feedback.
This user however, reminds me of another user that was posting questions that they felt were revolutionary, but were not legitimate questions. Looking through their comments and posts, I believe this is the same user under another account.
The post that was removed (by me) that they are upset about is:
It's not an easy job being a moderator, no matter how egregious the behavior is, it's always a difficult decision.
I think though this user has pretty convincingly revealed their underlying motivations, by way of their various posts and their behavior therein.
I was checking the "strength" post in a weird voyeuristic way, just to see the downvotes and look at the squabbling.
Each time I came back, I noticed that they had completely revised the entire post content, along with many of their comments.
The entire thing reeked of bait, trolling, mean-spirited sarcasm... All blended with what seemed to be, at least to me, a very bizarre fixation and fetish-like fascination about a specific topic.
For all the extremely valid criticism Reddit gets, at the very least one of the things they did rock-solid was giving moderators tools to deal with users who were acting in bad faith or outright abusively. For example, they made it extremely easy to automatically filter posts from untrusted new users until they had passed a certain threshold, or other ways to limit their exposure until they had established themselves as part of the community.
I'm not sure how robust, or even what set of tools you have available on this platform.
Whatever you can do to help us participants of this community, I know that I would personally thank you and appreciate it. Sometimes the answer is to ignore these people though, not necessarily bans, because in a way that gives these social deviants what they're after in the first place.
If they would add the ability to limit comments based on something like account age, or upvotes etc, it would be awesome.
Unfortunately the Lemmy dev team hasn't made that option quite yet, would be an awesome feature to request though!
Ah, lead with an insult. What a good moderator.
Your excuse for removing my post seems bogus to me.
If you think otherwise then DISCUSS it. That's what we do here.
Criticizing you content is not an insult to you personally. Unlike how you talked about the mods in the title of this post.
No he didn't....
This is exhausting.
Who's dumber, the dummy or the guy who tries to engage the dummy in conversation, in a house run by cubizoids?
What you're doing is simply trolling, and in this case likely even rage baiting, which in this excess definitely deserves a ban.
Every single thread this person is in is like this
I am 100% certain they're just a troll
Sorry, spider, I'm joining in with everyone else. Your questions usually don't make any sense.
Just like I told you on your other account, I don't believe you understand how communities work.
Each community has rules, you have to follow those rules, otherwise your posts or comments will be removed.
Locking this post since I do not believe it is genuine, and is the same thing you did on your other account.
