Looks like several rule 4 violations (post title must match the article) combined with posting a questionable source (Daily Mail, blech) got a 1 day ban.
Takeaway should be making sure you follow the rules and don’t editorialize the headlines.
That makes sense. I didn’t realize there was a mod log. Thank you!
yeah, News is serious business (and I like that they enforce that rule). Just make your jokes in the comments next time, and you’ll be fine.
If the mod has written the reason into the mod log, then you can read it there.
Some mods do that thoroughly, others only when the weather is nice on a sunday…
When the mods are clearly exasperated and the reasons get spicy, I like to call it the “mood log”.
Mod log…
I’ll be darned. I didn’t know that existed. And that would explain it! Thank you!
This question comes up every few days and I always go look up what the op did
Oh you got banned from news too? I called someone a dingus and the comment got deleted. Someone asked what the comment said and I replied saying I called someone a dingus and why and included an apology for calling someone a dingus in the first place. Apparently that counted as calling someone a dingus for a second time so a mod banned me for a week with a nice ‘enjoy your ban’ message. Thankfully there are other mods that are more reasonable and actually had a constructive conversation about things after the fact. Totally accepted the ban cause I broke a rule and was rude but yea, one of those people isn’t doing the team a lot of favors.
That mod sounds like a dingus
Looking at the mod log it appears you were temporarily banned from the news community for repeatedly violating the community rules. It says the ban will be lifted in 1 day.
Thank you!
Slightly off topic, but given Lemmy’s enjoyment of all things Star Trek, it seems a little disappointing they aren’t called Captain’s Logs instead of mod logs.
make a comment or post, see if it ever shows up by opening the local/remote instance->community->post/comment directly in a new private window.
