Might be someone you know.
Since we still ask submission title to match that of the article as part of the rule, please update your title.
That’s a reasonable and well thought out answer, I can accept that.
Does this apply to Donetsk and Luhansk as well?
Want to make sure you are internally consistent here.
Please update your submission title to reflect a potential change in the article title, as current rule does ask that they match.
I do think we allow different perspectives views to be discussed here, even though they are not views that I necessarily agree with. I tried to only remove comments and ban for what I think crosses the line beyond reasonable discussion into disruption.
There were many comments that were reported to me that I’m not quite sure about removing, but I do believe acting fast is preferable to being indecisive not acting. If you felt that your comment was removed by our error, you can discuss it in the feedback.
I’m open to criticism.
Noted. I would suggest that you use an archive link in not as a replacement but in addition to the link submission to ensure the article in question can be seen in the future.
This is not a news article, it’s a picture of a graph.
In the interest of discussion here, I’ll leave it up this time.
Please report this to us earlier, or, if you think our rule about articles only is unfair, I would like to hear your thoughts on if this should be allowed in the future.
This is US internal news, normally we would remove it, but in the interest of discussion, I would like to know if you think this should be allowed or not.
Perhaps the rule should be better clarified as “submission should be an internationally significant event”?
This post was removed for being a video, and not an article.
In the interest of transparency, this post is restored but will be locked. Please discuss if we should revise this rule in our feedback thread.
I don’t think it is needed, considering !world@lemmy.world is still relatively slow compared to many similar comms, and the latest lemmy.ml’s Israel Palestine megathread did not get much traction and sat at 0 comments for a very long time.
This article would be more appropriate for the politics community, since it is an opinion article from the interview of Peter Simi regarding Trump.
I would not consider this as news.
I apologize, and I do think changes are needed here.
As a first step, I have unbanned @naturalgasbad@lemmy.ca, as from the conversation detailed below, what he has done does not warrant a permanent ban at all.
I do take feedback extremely seriously, however, please allow us some time to figure out our next steps.
Note that Ukrinform is Ukranian state media.
I can tell you that the mod in the exchange with naturalgasbad and the mod who removed the comments are different.
Nevertheless, dismissing valid concerns about inconsistency in rule enforcement, threats of escalating bans, talking down to our community as children, as well as using mod power to remove valid criticism, as YoBuck has demonstrated, are all unacceptable behavior for LW moderators moving forward and will not be tolerated.
I have requested the moderators in question to apologize here, and based on the sincerity they demonstrate, I would be recommending further actions from our admin team.
So I ask you, the community, to keep an eye on our community modlog to keep us honest.
To add to that, personally speaking, I do not think multiple ban escalation as shown in the modlog in response to criticism of mod action in direct message is appropriate behavior for our moderation team, nor do I think it should be accepted going forward.
Given the feedback provide here, this is something we will be discussing regarding the standard of moderator behavior as well as further use of MBFC.
Let it be known that I personally despise Fox News.
But as a moderator, I don’t see why this would be removed just because it came from Fox News, since it is factual info they got from the AP.
I’ve restored the post, OP, if you are Oak with people in the comments downvoting you for submitting Fox News, that’s your own business.
