I was just perusing the modlog when I noticed something interesting. Apparently posting news about Gaza/Palestine is not allowed on [email protected]. 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 @[email protected] . 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

    Look, I don’t know anything about you, and I’m not the person who said that, new to the thread, but you said you wanted to remain head moderator in case of mod abuse. We’re seeing mod abuse. It’s time to kick the other one out. Refusal after being made aware of this is approval if you want to remain head moderator to remove other mods for mod abuse.

      Well, it’s only mod abuse if it goes against the rules they’ve made. If they make a new rule stating no i/p content, then it wouldn’t be mod abuse.

      but yeah I’ve brought this to their attention and told them to rework their previous rules. If they don’t, then I’ll be resigning from the community, as I have no interest in moderating a worldnews community

      Really though it’s a minuscule community, with one post per day

        i think i maybe don’t understand your stance. you’re remaining mod there to prevent mod abuse, have asked that this mod update the rules, and if they won’t, you’re going to let them run rampant? what does this accomplish? why not just resign either way since that’s the path you most want to follow.

        not trying to criticize, i just… am very confused

          • Stays to help with mod abuse
          • Openly says they don’t know anything about the mod they appointed
          • Doesn’t bother fixing anything here
          • Wonders why people think they have any responsibility, when they said they appointed this person and stayed to manage mod abuse
          • Wants the OP’s post removed because people said this was faulty reasoning

            I am still confused on what your position is. So you were saying you were leaving this comm to the other mod, that you were staying to keep them accountable, that you would resign if they didn’t respond to your response to hold them accountable, and now that you can’t resign at all. I’m… I’m very confused. It seems like you should elevate this to the admins, I guess?

              I’m equally as confused, as I haven’t moderated or interacted with the community for two years. The only time I have is when I locked the community down and ikt asked to carry on moderation.

              I don’t care at all for the community and I also can’t leave it.

              i also struggle to see why i should care or why i should do anything, i gave up the community, i don’t interact with it, haven’t interacted with it for years.
