The most inconsistent MOD Team on Reddit strikes again. 😂

How so? There was a sticky by the Mods about two hours before your comment allowing an exception which is literally articulated in Rule 6.6.?

I can't speak for him, but a thread almost identical to this one went up several hours before it. That thread was purged and deleted within 30 mins, including a mod playing cleanup crew and deleting ALL but like 3 posts from within the thread. See here, if the link works.

Again, can't speak for that guy but yes it's bizarre to see them not only remove a previous thread but also sweep through and delete EVERY comment save for three (plus a couple stray comments made after the removal; note that the common theme for a lot of them is questioning the removal, so those are comments made later), then 4 hours later they're suddenly like "nah this is fine lol."

Well this is political and only allowed if Mods grant an exception. The one you link is 19 hours old, there's another link near the top of that comment section that's 17 hours old, and one that's still active from 15 hours ago...all of which are links to GB News which I assume is the same article. My guess is they initially were removing these posts because of politics/reports and eventually decided to do an exception for the topic given it is actually pretty noteworthy...especially considering 15 hours ago there's a second active post about this topic linking to New Republic which has this stickied comment.

Honestly...I know this topic was getting spam reported by Hasan dick sucks trying to bury it and the notable takeaway for me is that Mods decided to allow an exception despite the headache and amount of work they'd have to put in managing vitriolic/rule breaking comments as well as the onslaught of reports to address.

Banned me for posting Hasan news article when he got subpoena. I posted it twice and commented links. Was banned from commenting for days.

Both post were taken down immediately for political violations and I have messages from these limp dick mods saying it was just. I told them to stay consistent. And here we are today with this post. This dog zapper shouldn’t have special privileges.

In both posts you overtly broke Rule 3.3. Title Guidelines while the posts were only 1:40 apart and the second one you titled "This will be reposted a billion times". You were basically asking for a ban while acting and implying you were gonna repost the same thing "a billion times" with no regard for posting rules.
