Aussie.zone rules:

Golden rule - don’t be a dick. If you wouldn’t say it in front of your grandmother, don’t post it.
No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.
Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here.
No porn.
No Ads / Spamming.
Nothing illegal in Australia.

Hmmmm seems like some pro labor mod is doing some apologia for crimes that people hung at Nuremberg for.

Forgive me for dispensing with civility while hellfire rains down.

I would prefer this post be restored or the rules be updated for clarity

    If submitting news articles with titles that aren't copies of the source is against the rules then that should be written down and communicated.

    I'm not the only person to do this, but my post is removed. why?

    Why is it ok for mods to remove posts without reference to rules?

    What is the point of rules if they don't bind mods?

    Yes.. no response in the sub 1 hour timeframe since you messaged me.

    I consider editorialised headlines to break global rule 0 of AZ, especially when being deliberately antagonistic in attempting to provoke a fight from those with differing opinions to you. ie don't be a dick. If you want to pick a fight, do it elsewhere.

    In this case, I agree with the broad strokes of your opinion on the topic of the article you linked. Repost it with the original published title and it will stay. Add your own commentary to the post, not the headline.

    can you amend the rules to clarify this stance please?

    No. AZ isn't run by rules lawyers, no interest in posting every single possible action that contravenes "don't be a dick".

    I am not trying to be antagonistic, why is submitting a news article with an edited headline being a "dick"?

    being deliberately antagonistic in attempting to provoke a fight from those with differing opinions to you

    this was not my intention, I don't want to trigger a fight, just plainly state how the actions relate to IL and the RBO to highlight the horror.

    Re-read my previous comment, I won't be commenting further.

    This seem distinctly power tripping, you wont explain your reasoning as to how the rules cover it. Meanwhile you project intentions onto me I do not have.

    I am sorry to have annoyed you, but with the rules as they are I feel like you are behaving unreasonably. If you ammend them to cover submissions of news articles not copying their headlines (and whether there is a difference if the article is posted in the body or not) I will be entirely satisfied with the removal.

    I know running coms can be stressful, but it can't be arbitrary.

    Oh no. You were definitely given an answer, and an explanation. You just don't like them.

    They owe you nothing at this point, you're a timewaster throwing a tantrum

    Dunno about the mods, but the AZ admins are 100% happy to continue to platform racists (ikt).

    When alerted and given information, they'll maybe remove one or two offending posts but do absolutely nothing about the user despite a repeated history of it.

    As far as I'm concerned the instance is run in very very bad faith.

    Edit: Lodion I see you've downvoted this, do you perhaps want to comment on why you refuse to take meaningful action against racism towards Aboriginal peoples and allow said racist to continue to operate on your platform?

    Untrue. Starting with a statement of "fact" like that immediately has me questioning if you are posting in good faith.

    When alerted and given information, they’ll maybe remove one or two offending posts but do absolutely nothing about the user despite a repeated history of it.>

    The information you've previously compiled was either moderated already, or deleted by author when I saw most of if. What remained were ambiguous, possibly offensive comments if interpreted in particular ways . Either way... I didn't see anything warranting further action than had already occurred. That and your actions at the time, harassing said user in every thread they posted in, had me take your input with a large grain of salt.

    As far as I’m concerned the instance is run in very very bad faith.>

    I don't think there is anything I can say to convince you how wrong you are on this one. We do the best with the information available to us, and we're only human.

    As for your edit:

    why you refuse to take meaningful action>

    I'm not. I'm happy to ban users when it is warranted.

    why you refuse to take meaningful action against racism towards Aboriginal peoples>

    Can you point me towards any such content on AZ?

    allow said racist to continue to operate on your platform?>

    I've not seen any unaddressed reports for them that warrant action on my part. I'm not online 24x7 though, so often reports are addressed by other mods/admins before I see what was reported.

    Looking over comments from this user, I see plenty to dislike. But I won't ban a user because I dislike them, their opinions or necessarily how they express them.

    YDI.

    You deliberately set out to start a fight, and when that didn't work you're trying to start one here. Any mod worth their salt can smell that behaviour a mile away.
