1. The mods here silently, without even notifying me, removed an ontopic non rule violating shitpost (literally just a screenshot) without giving a reason

  2. I made a thread asking why since they never gave a reason

  3. The mods said my original post violates “rule 2” (despite rule two being completely unrelated) said it was “inflamatory” (again, a screenshot from star trek) the title is “a persons name” (its not) and LOCKED the thread before I could ask for clarification.

Am I crazy or is this exactly the sort of arbitrary behavior we thought we were getting away from? What do ““rules”” matter if they can be interpreted to mean whatever a power hungry mod wants them to mean? They might as well of said “not seeking jamahron”

Ten seconds until they lock this too, despite it not being against any rules either…

    1. It was a drama-based shitpost.
    2. As mentioned, it was removed for being uncivil. The reason for this is because the title was the name of another user. You then edited your title moments before making your last post asking why the post was removed. This can be demonstrated in the below screenshots.

    Original post:

    Questioning post:

    Whether you delete the post or we remove it, it does not matter. Lemmy mods are able to see the posts after deletion specifically in moments like this when users try to delete previous posts to cause drama.

    1. The thread was locked because it had no benefit to the community to continue the conversation, much like this post. However, you were merely told what the problem was last time. This is now a warning. If you continue this behavior we will have to ban you from the community for a short period as a timeout. If you continue the behavior after that, you will be banned for longer and longer periods of time.

    I hope this answered your questions. The post has now been locked. Good bye and have a good day.
