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
 

I am eternally astonished at how narrow these moderators are. I wouldn't put them in charge of a wheelbarrow.

It was a nice post. About the way we see, and how people used to see, and how we think. What may have changed.

And yes, it was invariably confrontational. Everybody refuting, nobody entertaining or speculating. A bit like talking to religious zealots.

ahh, i called it months ago, you kept posting stupid questions on purpose hoping one would get removed, then you would cry "the hypocrisy of it all, wont someone think of the children?"

ok maybe the second half of the quote was from something else, but damn...i called it.

“it was a nice post” – “it was invariably confrontational” … *sigh*

This is Lemmy, if you are dissatisfied you are free and encouraged to run your own instance with your own moderation roles.

Makes sense, it was stupid. If not at first, certainly after you edited it.

Just block this user and move on.

Let me give you the benefit of the doubt. What was the original post?

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Troll post insisting people are in the wrong for not believing there are tiny ghosts in the backyard.
