Notes on community moderation, in no particular order

Ping people only when something needs to be acted on.

Remember that You, as moderator, support the members of the community,
not the other way around. It's up to you to ensure that members feel welcome
and sometimes it might feel like you're doing everything yourself. The rules
are flexible and breaking a rule within very good reason is okay to make
people's experiences in the server better - though I expect the first couple
times people follow this morsel of advice won't end well.

That being said, don't follow community requests blindly. Weigh the
cost of implementing a proposal against the joy it will bring.
