We need more active moderators, so I (mod Silvia) will be opening applications again temporarily. I’ve changed the system slightly since last time, so here’s how it will work.
I will be accepting up to 2 moderators unless there are too many options. Please don’t be upset if you aren’t picked, I expect it to be a very tough choice. Mod applications may open again later.
Please read all of the rules before submitting a form. Applications will be open until April 23rd unless they need to be extended.
To become a moderator, you must be able to be active on the blog at least 2-3 times a month. Activity can be answering messages, reblogging posts, or editing the blog appearance.
You will be expected to answer questions related to your orientation(s), gender(s), and personal experiences. However, we’re here to help you! If you have any questions or you’re uncertain about something, feel free to ask me or check with other active admins.
This is a discourse-free blog. Do not reblog or post anything attacking people or discoursing identities. Absolutely don’t reblog or post any callouts unless you believe people’s safety might be at risk. Again, check with me first please.
We accept questions from non-LGBT people. If this makes you uncomfortable I’ll handle those instead, but don’t apply if you aren’t okay with it at all. Don’t answer aggressively. Delete hateful messages.
When I pick the new mod(s), I’ll message you on your main tumblr blog and give you the rundown of how the blog works and our currently very messy tag system. You need to have at least one form of communication open, please!
If you don’t respond within 3 days I’ll give the position to someone else.
This is also the time where we’ll discuss things like privacy and how much information you’re okay with being public on the blog.
Breaking the rules will result in a warning. Multiple rule breaks will result in getting kicked off the blog.
However, we aren’t heartless! Everyone makes mistakes, so talk to us and explain the situation if something doesn’t go as planned. We’ll see what we can do. If you’re called out, just try to deal with it calmly or don’t respond, and message us.
Once you’re picked and I’ve given you an orientation, you can send me an introduction for yourself and I’ll put it on the blog. This can be a short blurb about whatever you want, so people know who are on the mod page and what sort of questions you’ll answer, but isn’t required.
Moderators stay moderators for at least 3 days of activity. After that, you’ll be promoted to administrator. (Assuming there have been no unsolvable problems.)
Reminder: Please try to watch your wording on sapphic/wlw blogs. I am male AND female and it's a bit confusing when a blog says that women and woman-aligned people are welcome but if you are male in any way you shouldn't join. Please remember that bigender/trigender, genderfluid, demigenders, and many others exist.
Reiterating on the last post again: I believe the post was intended to point out how riidiculous the gatekeeping of aces/aros from the community is. The argument many people use is calling aces/aros “basically cishet” which isn’t true and thus, I think OP (?) and the commenters were making fun of that argument by calling themselves (obviously part of the LGBT+ community) cishet.
Again, very sorry, and if it strikes people as offensive, easily misread, or too controversial in the sense that aces/aros may feel attacked by it, just say so and I’ll delete the reblog. This blog is intended to be a safe space for all LGBTQIA+ community members, and that includes aces and aros.
Ginny Weasley: Have you ever been in love with an unexpected person?Whoops, DEFINITELY. Two people. My second crush (a guy I had developed one on only after I got to know him and I didn’t realize it at first), and my queerplatonic partner, you cutie. ~Silvia
