| Oct 24, 2019 at 11:22 | comment | added | anaximander | To be fair, if a user gets a flag saying "deliberate misgendering", the only real way for a moderator to decide whether that is true or not is to check your profile to work out what the correct pronouns are. As soon as they do that, they'll see that you've said you don't care what pronouns people use, at which point the moderator knows that they can drop it. | |

| Oct 23, 2019 at 14:23 | comment | added | Sockenpuppe | @JL2210 I don't understand what you mean by your comment. | |
| Oct 23, 2019 at 14:22 | comment | added | user474678 | Exactly what you have here. See also my answer on the CoC change (10k+ or if you're logged in as me), | |
| Oct 23, 2019 at 11:19 | comment | added | terdon | If you don't really mind, then maybe not say it anywhere in your profile and only mention it to people you interact with regularly when it comes up? | |
| Oct 23, 2019 at 10:17 | comment | added | user206222 | @Socken I think this is just common sense moderation. It's not really something that needs to be said -- moderators are, in every case, expected to look into ambiguities before acting. | |
| Oct 23, 2019 at 10:12 | comment | added | Sockenpuppe | @Aza That's what I would expect, too. But I did not find anything in the published CoC and FAQs that indicates that it is mandatory for mods to check back with me before acting. | |
| Oct 23, 2019 at 10:11 | comment | added | user206222 | If you say "se/sim but okay with any pronouns" in your profile I'd expect mods to read that before acting. | |
| Oct 23, 2019 at 9:53 | comment | added | Sockenpuppe | Hm, that's not good. TY for your comments. | |
| Oct 23, 2019 at 9:52 | comment | added | user | I'm pretty sure you can't do that; flags are shown to moderators largely in isolation. "About me" is probably about the best you can do. | |
| Oct 23, 2019 at 9:51 | comment | added | Sockenpuppe | @aCVn Yes, that would be a possibility. But if overzealous user A flags an answer or a comment in which user B does not use by pronouns (which I am fine with), I have no way to indicate to the mods that this flag shall be ignored. This may result in user B being punished because user A did ignore my explicit wish. | |
| Oct 23, 2019 at 9:48 | comment | added | user | You could put them in the "about me" section of your profile, including a statement to the effect of, perhaps, you appreciate if people use them but you do not require them to be used when addressing you. (Adjust as desired to indicate your exact preference.) That of course won't forbid anything on the part of anyone else, but it will make your preferences clearly known to anyone who looks at your profile. | |
| Oct 23, 2019 at 9:43 | comment | added | Kyle Fairns | I'd say that you'd just comment them in response to another user, or pre-emptively under your question/answer in the comments, or at least, that's my interpretation of point U4, perhaps add a note on there that pronouns aren't an issue for you, so to disregard any misgendering toward yourself - but that may poke the bear | |
