The reason I removed your post is because it broke rule #1 of our community (as I noted, and you show in the screenshot).

Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.

As someone else has stated, I'm just enforcing the rules, just like I'd hope you would do here in this community that you mod. Honestly I'm a bit surprised you even posted this here, you should understand enforcing your community rules.

Why can't you just post it somewhere else where it doesn't break the rules

This comment is riding a fine line of breaking rule 1 of this community:

I demand to be entertained

But I'm an understanding guy, and I do believe that being a moderator doesn't mean you have to check your sense of humor at the door, or become an extension of your report queue.

First you said I abused Lemmy rule 1, which I've explained it was community rule 1. So now you say I should play favoritism and cherry pick which posts should follow the rules, and which ones shouldn't.

That's not how this works, and would create a lot of problems in the bigger communities, mods have to be unbiased and enforce their rules.

Hope you have a better day today my friend.
