Moderator Guidelines
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.
I can’t imagine the handling is truly that high, but I do agree that you found the superior cart.

Debatable, but agree to disagree.
but I do agree that you found the superior cart.
To be fair, I'm way too big to fit into those drivers' seats. To get a true sense of the handling, we'd need to recruit some toddlers to test drive. I get the feeling they'd agree with you.
The Ikea shopping cart: maxed out everything.
Ikea dorifto
Okay, but is greasing the wheels racing legal?
Top cart is a euro spec cart with swivels on all 4 wheels. By far the superior shopping cart.
Acceleration may be slower on the top one, but it sure does have speed in straight sections
The speed is based entirely on the bioengine provided and should not be counted!
Do not discount accumulated momentum!
My grocery stores have these grocery rolling baskets and they're very convenient for small grocery trips
I hate these... as a tall person, I have a choice between cosplaying as Quasimodo, or letting that thing wreck my boot heels...
As another tall person, I just let the front wheels float and extend my arm so the back wheels don't crash into my feet. It... Kinda works.
Bring a length of rope to extend the handle next time
Or attach a leash. Just be sure to remind your cart that it’s a good boy/girl, clean up any messes it makes, and keep it away from the chocolate in the checkout line.
Easier to just carry the groceries in my arms, the last accessory I'd need for people to fully think of me as a serial killer would be random lenths of rope...
Sometimes I just kick that basket around when I can't be bothered to reach for the handle, lol
The trouble of being tall o7
Lots of things are just built for average people so if you are short or tall you automatically get inconvenienced
needs a fifth bar for "comfort". i had the middle one in my living room for week but had to get rid of it because it was the most cramp-inducing TV chair i've ever had. bottom one is probably better.
this is flatbed cart erasure
Handling has got to be negative on those things.
You start going and the weight distribution or ground is uneven and who knows what’s going to happen.
I think speed is mistaken for acceleration in this case. The top one is definitely faster even if it has low acceleration and poor off road wheels.
The top one needs to somehow have a negative value for handling.
Only if they have the rear wheels fixed, like in the US. Otherwise, they're great at handling. You can even give em a push and watch them make a pirouette before you, grab the front grill and pull them behind you.
I do that at IKEA all too often... 👀
You seem to be ignoring Newton's Fourth Law of Motion:
Whenever you don't expect it (and often when you do), one wheel of a shopping cart will be completely fucked, making the whole thing a nightmare to maneuver.
It's more pithy in the original Neo-Latin 🤷
That’s even I throw the carts into the lake or push them down the hill behind the mall.
It’s the circle of life. I hear there’s a guy who sells them back to the mall.
Need a 5th stat: flair
what fancy ass market are you shopping where the top cart has so much handling? most of what I've seen has literally negative handling, they actively go another way.
Grocery Outlet: Bargain Market
My supermarket has double decker versions of the small cart. Doubles the capacity in exchange for a slight ding to speed.
As the Internet was made for cats, I have to inform you that my cat curious about this meme. After looking, he chinned my phone. Good meta confirmed!
The target karts are like a shiny version of the top one.
Is this an american joke i am too european to understand?
The bottom shopping cart looks like the funnest one to use. Maybe if I have free time (and space), I’d love to make a larger version
Needs those Costco ones that only have front wheel steering
