I was told there were no stupid questions.
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?
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.
Just because the question involved wordplay doesn’t mean the question wasn’t genuine. I was asking to elicit creative answers that might be better or enhance the gag.
There were a handful of commenters that understood the assignment before @[email protected] did not, and removed it.
enhance the gag
So yeah, you’re just trolling a community and whining that they took out the trash, and you know it.
What would you call it, if not centual massage? I really want to know.
First came the mods, then they kill the community from forming lol
Hello Officer No Fun, the point is that yall take moding lemmy way to fucking seriously as if your life fucking depends on it. I mean, that’s kind of ridiculous.
Like 99% of ppl on the planet don’t even know this site exist nor do they care.
The audience is so tiny here, it’s almost like mods and admins do shit like this for self gratification. Because there aren’t like thousands of ppl complaining about posts and content in your communities. You just personally don’t like it and are on some weird ass internet power trip.
That post was honestly original and the best I’ve seen in a while. NSQ community here, most if not all the posts are Luke warm boring uninteresting diarrhea.
Same… A lot of modding seems to be mods don’t have real shit to do.
We ain’t over flowing with content. Most modding is either censorship or power trips.
Once we get serious volume, I get it.
But this was Christmas eve with regulars shit posting
Can’t have that!!!
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.
Who cares, it was a clever funny post. It was enjoyable. The world isn’t gunna end, gosh loosin up I’m an admin and I’m not even that anal
Why can’t you just post it somewhere else where it doesn’t break the rules
This comment is riding a fine line of breaking rule 1 of this community:
I demand to be entertained
But I’m an understanding guy, and I do believe that being a moderator doesn’t mean you have to check your sense of humor at the door, or become an extension of your report queue.
First you said I abused Lemmy rule 1, which I’ve explained it was community rule 1. So now you say I should play favoritism and cherry pick which posts should follow the rules, and which ones shouldn’t.
That’s not how this works, and would create a lot of problems in the bigger communities, mods have to be unbiased and enforce their rules.
Hope you have a better day today my friend.
EXACTLY ! That’s what I was trying to say in above comment. Like wtf ? Laugh man Jesus
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 confusedHi confused, I’m author.
At first it said you removed it but then it updated to moderator.
Prolly Federation update was delayed?
I liked that post, thought it was clever
Same
It was provocative, it got people going
Okay but this screenshot is hilarious and “mod abuse rule” would pull serious numbers on 196
What is a serious number, in your opinion?
Like 25
Ain’t even prime. Fuckin’ square-ass number.
Rule 1, also known as a .ml special.
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.
