Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

LOL But you don't follow them. I reported one person who was clearly breaking the TOS and YOUR rules and you banned me instead for being a "known troll" for speaking about phobias. At least be honest with yourself.
You're correct. It was still in the mod queue.
It's since been taken care of.
Yeah, I'm gonna believe that. What rule did I break, then? Or are you just vibe modding? Because I sure as shit am not "trolling" for speaking about things that matter to me that you dislike.

Are you serious? Did you even look at the time frames? 3 mo ago, 1 year. I've been here 2 years. I hope you realize most of those times were not deserved, and people were power tripping and assuming shit, just like you did by slapping troll on everything you dislike. Mods like you are the problem on this site, who then turn around and play saints.
Sorry for the delay in response.
I was taking the time to do something I rarely have time to do: actually look at your profile.
I will say this, I was wrong.
Mods didn't always have time to deep dive, and we're human. Sorry for the error.
Thank you, that's rare to see and it means a lot. I sincerely don't participate in bad faith. I'm making an effort to do better.
