oh, I love how that looks. Such a clean UI.

You tagged the wrong admin (am not part of the tech team), but I’ll forward it to the other admins (:

FYI: admins can see all reports. We currently have a tool running that scans for posts that are reported a lot, which will then notify people who can do something about it.

I’m planning on making something like that, but am first focussing on improving the features we already have.

Just posted the new spotlight, thank you for reminding me (:

The admin that organized that has left the team. I’m the new solo-lead for the community team, and will try to get that started again soon. Any suggestions for communities are more than welcome!

Is this a joke I’m to dumb to understand?

We do our best (:

Yea no problem. There was one comment where you called them stupid (and one where you implied the same), and you did the same to someone else a two months ago (we look at the modlog for that stuff). The culmination of that leaded to a temp ban. That’s our standard policy. We suggest reporting and not engaging with obvious trolls (;

We also don’t like that a ban isn’t made clear to the one that was banned, but that seems like something lemmy itself has to fix.

Edit: I also unbanned you, because it seems like a genuine mistake.

Yo! I was the one that banned you. I have looked at the Modlog, and I still feel like it’s justified. Your ban is only temporary, and meant more as a warning to refrain from using personal attacks. Know that you are very welcome to post, if you follow the rules of the community.

If you have any questions, let me know (:

Correct.

I think it is pretty clear that the case-by-case statement means that there is some flexibility in the rules. But I will consult with the other moderators of politicalMemes to see if they think changing is necessary.

Then you find a top post removed with the reason of mediabiasfactcheck, for a source with no fact check fails and a slight “center right” orientation.

If I look through the modlog, I don’t see the particular post you mention, could you maybe elaborate on which post you mean?

Meaning: no rules. Not sure who redacted that, but it allows any arbitrary decision.

I disagree with the statements that that means “No rules”, it just means that sometimes a technical rule violation doesn’t warrant a removal of a post. There is no world in which rules are perfectly complete for every edge case and no “arbitrary” decision ever need to be made.

A lot of comments removed with a reason of “rule 2”, even when including multiple links to support the claims made. After I got one of those, I tried replying to some comments by providing sources for the claims they made, while citing the rule. My comments were left alone, the parent comments got deleted for reason “rule 2”. At no point any mod actually asked to provide sources, clearly didn’t check the ones provided.

I’m actually a mod for politicalMemes. If I look through the modlog, I don’t see many instances of comments / posts being removed for rule 2. So could you please specify which removals you are referring to?

Do you have any examples?

That’s a horrible mistake, that could ruin people’s eh… eyes you know. Is anyone going to be held accountable for this?

Read the post body to find out.

Damn… that is nice! I do hope they get their battery life and camera in better shape, then they will be a real good alternative to most other phones.

Didn’t they announce that they would support their phone for 6 years, not 7?

Hi!
