| Oct 21, 2020 at 12:40 | comment | added | Timaroberts Mod | @batFINGER to me, "be nice" means just that, literally not only as in the CoC. At the end of the end of the day, we are all human anyway. :) Some new users will stay and contribute, learn how things work here... great. Others won't. It's unfortunate that we've lost many long time users that contributed great content and worked hard to maintain the site. At the end of the day, remember we all started somewhere with a first ask, some better than others and then learned from other users comments and actions, hence why I suggest be nice, vote, comment. I hope that answers your question :) | |
| Oct 21, 2020 at 7:30 | comment | added | batFINGER | Re 1. what is being "nice". We have recently lost RayMairlot, a tireless editor / reviewer / keeper of the tags... A new user took umbrage at a tag edit and spat out some of the usual obtuse, ignorant vitriol. As you'd be aware this occurs too often Our comments are ignored, edits reverted. Then no matter how rude this user may have been, another user rides up like a white knight and comments / answers to reward the tantrum thrower, whom in getting what they want is then "nice". IMO the suggestions in the CoC lean towards patronizing. Do we really want these gimme gimme noobs? | |

| Oct 17, 2020 at 10:43 | comment | added | Timaroberts Mod | @Leander day to day varies :) Could be 30 minutes, could be an hour in a day... no hard limits. I’m already around a lot, so not much will change. :) I’ll try to at least dedicate enough time to have queues caught up so it stays manageable. Does that answer your question well enough? | |
| Oct 17, 2020 at 8:19 | comment | added | Leander | @timaroberts How often would you frequent blender.se a moderator and how much time would you dedicate daily/weekly/monthly to review/edit? | |
| Oct 15, 2020 at 21:40 | comment | added | Timaroberts Mod | @lemon Yes, sometimes very specific, and to that point I try to remind users that Q's should be useful to future users and the OP. To manage it is good to know the dupes, use the search or even better to have canonical answers or community wikis to refer to. The donut Q's by now are mostly dupes, so close as dupes. But still be nice, and encourage them to ask other Q's. | |
| Oct 15, 2020 at 18:55 | comment | added | lemon | The first point about beginners is very important I think. Frequently this is boring, specific, repetitive, and/or with no general interest. However we can answer and be nice, I tried to do often. Yes, ok. Any idea for a better management of these cases? I must add (joke, of course): how to ban directly any question about donuts ; ) | |

| Oct 14, 2020 at 5:22 | comment | added | marcellothearcane | You're the only one so far that would ask why another moderator closed a question, rather than saying why it shouldn't be closed :) What are the close vote queues like? My impression of being a 7k user on English Language & Usage is that moderators mainly handle flags. | |
