Let me ask you a stupid question: if the rules are available for you to read before you post, and you ignore them for whatever reason, is it really mod abuse when the mods enforce the rules?

No one likes having content removed. It feels shitty. But you have no one to blame but yourself on this one.

Thank you for your 2 cents.

I can cents some sarcasm in your comment.

What's the rule that got broken?

[–] PlzGivHugs 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's nostupidquestions, so rule one is legitimate questions only. Makes sense that the post was removed when it was posted to a serious q&a community.

The reason I removed your post is because it broke rule #1 of our community (as I noted, and you show in the screenshot).

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.

As someone else has stated, I'm just enforcing the rules, just like I'd hope you would do here in this community that you mod. Honestly I'm a bit surprised you even posted this here, you should understand enforcing your community rules.

I'm so sorry that happened to you.

This is better be with a heavy dash of irony ~~but this is showing to me as removed by the author, so I am confused~~

At first it said you removed it but then it updated to moderator.

Prolly Federation update was delayed?

Okay but this screenshot is hilarious and “mod abuse rule” would pull serious numbers on 196

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What is a serious number, in your opinion?

Ain't even prime. Fuckin' square-ass number.

There's no shortage of shitty mods and simps who love them. I avoid any comms that I know have mods from Reddit or comms that feel too much like Reddit in their content. I don't want another fucking padded room, there's a million of them already. Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, etc etc; there's no shortage of safe spaces for your weak minds, we don't have to ruin every new site too.

Rule 1, also known as a .ml special.
