I was just perusing the modlog when I noticed something interesting. Apparently posting news about Gaza/Palestine is not allowed on !worldnews@sh.itjust.works. I decided to check the side bar and didn’t see anything. The only pinned post also does not indicate that this is not allowed
edit: the mod in question is @Eyekaytee@aussie.zone . sorry for not originally tagging. i hadn’t realized it was a rule that this must be done. i thought it seemed inappropriate since i was trying to initiate a conversation about a community’s rules and culture rather than start drama about an individual
You should aim to follow the sidebar rules .
There is no “accused PTB can’t respond”. I don’t know what either of you are talking about. We explicitly allow PTBs to respond. Just not by opening new threads about it.
Yeah, but what about the majority of posts made in this community not actually following these guidelines and rules?
I’m not as anal about rules like other mods. I understand that people often don’t see the sidebars and mistakes happen easily. So long as things tend to follow the spirit of the comm, I tend to let things go or just ask the OP to amend their post. The rules are there to help people follow the spirit of the comm.
i didn’t realize there was a rule to @ the mod in question. i’ll amend the post
There is no such rule! Where are you peeps seeing these?!
oh there isn’t? i just assumed goat was saying that based on… you know… the rules. i’m on my phone right now so i don’t have an easy way to read the sidebar
goat says a lot of things…

He wants it removed because people are calling him out. That’s why he is shifting to this post breaking its rules.
Tbf It’s not his fault in this case, but he should have left the mod team to not be pointed at by mistake
Goat is trying to get your post removed because they don’t like it.
do you think this community will accept if a moderator featured in this community used your comment as an excuse for their moderation?
It depends? I think you’re still under the mistaken idea that this comm judges mods on how well they follow their printed rules, rather than how much of a power-trippin’ bastard they’re being. A mod can have bastardly written rules and follow them to a T and we’d still call them bastards for having such rules.
such as you banning users for being libs?
Why did I just know you were simply building up to a gotcha 🙄
If you feel I’m being a PTB, make a post about it in this comm.
if you were aware of your own hypocrisy then that’s on you
No hypocrisy here mate. But good to see your claim of trying to amend relations was just a lie since you’re still clearly salty AF and having to resort to bad faith statements like these.
