Nah I’m confused because I did read it. The sidebar for world news says that this is rule 3
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Which doesn’t even make sense to apply to a comment.
And says that this is rule 6
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
(I was jokingly accusing you of violating rule 6 because the removed comment could maybe be said to violate that one. It’s a bit of a stretch but at least plausible.)
So still kinda confused because you quoted a different rule 6.
To be fair, that guy was a giant asshole.
I like your strong language rule. But rule 6 is such a vague catch-all that it basically says “the mods will remove anything they don’t like, at any time, with no warning”
Which seems kinda fucked.
