Hi! I’m another recently removed mod.

Any other mod can confirm that I have been spending the past year repeatedly asking for clarification on the rules and for the sidebar rules to be updated. As mods we were told to do things that weren’t even mentioned in the mod ruleslist.

I mentioned this in a removed comment but for a long time ticktock videos straight up were not allowed (not in the rules list) and then we were given a set of guidelines where ticktock videos would be allowed- but again those guidelines are still not in the rules.

Another recent issue was one was rule 1. There’s been a shift overtime in the headmod’s stance on what constitutes a bannable insult, but these changes again were never discussed with the mods nor were they put into the rules. Common sense would dictate that rule one means not to be unacceptably rude, however the head mod now intends for rule 1 to mean no insults at all.

I got in trouble on the discord for calling someone a “dingbat”. You calling someone a “baby” is a bannable offense now.

(a). Intolerance will result in a permanent ban. Toxic language including referring to others as animals, subhuman, trash or any similar variation is not allowed.

(b). No dog whistles.

(c). No inciting violence, advocating the destruction of property or encouragement of theft.
