Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

It's probably just the result of someone suing after finding a piece of bone in their boneless wing.
Also, boneless wings tend to be made of cuts of breast meat, not the compressed meat slurry of nuggets. It's basically the only thing that separates the two.
It is the result of someone suing, but I have no idea what you mean with the modifier "just".
A guy bought boneless wings, ate them, one of them had a long bone in it that he swallowed and it caused a massive infection.
He of course sued, and the Ohio Supreme Court made this asinine ruling to protect the food supplier mega corporation, rather then forcing them to have proper quality control processes.

It's honestly one of the most mind boggingly stupid decisions I've ever heard. An Ohio State Senator introduced legislation in January to effectively tell the Supreme Court their ruling was dumb:
https://www.newsweek.com/ohio-bill-aims-target-boneless-chicken-wings-2033419
Good to know Ohio health laws in place for consumers are actually a single-use ticket before being overwritten
Edit: I've just read that the Supreme court ruled against this guy, so he lost the suit and the law actually meant nothing
In English, "just" can also infer "nothing more than". It doesn't just mean "trivial or unimportant". See what I did there?
"I'm not communicating poorly, everyone's just interpreting what I say the way I write it!"
Yes, it’s because the “wings” made from ground chicken may contain bone scraps when the mechanical separator wasn’t accurate enough.
Well what can you do, they can't afford the good machine and they can't afford to run it for the recommended time
It’s more like the scrapers aren’t perfect. There isnt a pricier machine that avoids this.
sigh fuck it, why not. After all, do we really want to live in a country where words matter and a corporation can lose a few bucks over negligence?
A restaurant served boneless wings which contained a large bone fragment by mistake. A factory deboneing chickens at scale can't be certain they got all the bones, some can be missed. A customer swallowed the bone fragment, became injured as a result, and sued the restaurant.
The court ruled that because chickens have bones, a bone being missed in the factory was not negligence, and the customer was not entitled to damages. If the contaminant were a foreign contaminant, like say metal or glass, it would have been negligent.
It was a 4-3 decision, but as it's Ohio's state supreme court, this ruling does not apply to other states.
Boneless wings aren't made from literal wings with the bones removed, they're made from breast meat cut in the shape of wings. Have you ever heard of someone finding bones in their chicken breasts bought from a supermarket? When supermarkets always use factory suppliers as well.
About the only thing I'd agree to is that it's not the restaurant's fault. They should have been able to declare their supplier to the court and then peace out of the whole affair.
You can buy chicken breasts with bones attached. There are bones nearby to all of the meat. Since it was a bone fragment, the bone must have broken at some point. I have found a fragment in supermarket chicken. Its rare but it does happen.
I personally think it was bad ruling, and some party should have been liable.
However, my intention was to summarize the court case in a neutral way.
proving once again nothing good comes from ohio
well for one a lot of the administration seems to think nazis are some sort of socialist. critical thinking is not a big part of their lives.
How to kill hundreds of children.
Chickenless bone wings
for fucks sake, aren't they just chicken nuggets?
generally, they're more like small chicken tenders. that is, they're whole chunks of breast meat, rather than ground chicken molded into a particular shape.
I mean these are the same people who think horse de-wormer is a panacea.
Boneless wings are an unholy amalgamation created by man to spite god, at this point they may have a bone, I don't care
Boneless wings are just cut up chicken breast. They are different than chicken nuggets which are ground up chicken scraps after the quality cuts are removed.
Fair. I am not vegan, I just don't like most meat and there's even more I don't even want to try, I guess I thought of nuggets?
You mean Chicken Strips/tenders?
Chicken tenders are from the tenderloin, which is a special cut of tender muscles along the breastbone.
Chicken strips are from whatever cut the manufacturer wants.
Boneless wings/chicken chunks are chunks of chicken breasts that are breaded and fried.
There's one tier higher than anyone realises on this list. Thai and Cambodian (and perhaps others as well) cuisine has actual wings that have been deboned and stuffed. They're divine.
Now with 40% more bones!
