- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
@TheTechnician27@lemmy.world
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
Ban & comment removal.
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
I commented that I am not sure @arlesh@lemmy.world even verified the story is even real. Instead of proving me with another source that the story is real, I was deemed a troll, banned, and all my comments removed. If this is how criticism is remedied, I am not sure what I want fixed.
YDI.
You were beating your own personal drum when the community allows a source you don’t like.
Temp ban, comment removal, and a warning to not do it again are totally appropriate in this case.
If you don’t like an allowed source on a link driven community, the way to handle it isn’t whining in a thread, or here. You make your case first to the mods, then possibly as a meta post.
Nobody gives a fuck if any random person dislikes a given source. Nobody. What matters is community standards. As long as standards exist and are moderated evenly, it’s users’ choice to participate in that community or not.
Is there like community for this?
Well, usually, you’ll message the mods if that community, then post a meta post in that community. No point in doing so elsewhere.
I disagree.
I guess I really have to create a c/appeals
What do you think c/appeals would do?
If it isn’t run by the admins and mods that you would appeal to, it’s useless. An appeal that isn’t made to a person that can change the thing being appealed is just whining with extra steps. This community already serves tat purpose, and it at least has enough of a user base that it might get attention from a mod that’s being PTB accused.
So, I guess you can feel free to disagree with the fact that the established method for making appeals, or seeking changes in policy goes through the mods of a community, but that’s just delusion.
You can also feel free to start any community you want that the instance admins where it’s hosted are okay with. Hell, even though it’s pointless for the thing you’re here complaining about, it would at least be more productive than this post was lol.
For real here, you don’t have to like the responses to a PTB post. It’s pretty damn common that if the consensus verdict isn’t PTB that some degree of butthurt will occur. But if you don’t at least recognize that you’re being told in a very direct manner that what you wanted to hear is just not a reflection of reality.
