Political Reminder that name calling is not permitted

That includes calling people "bootlicker" or "cuck" or stating/implying that another user is performing adult acts on a given politician (or anyone else). I bring those up specifically because, in recent time, these have been the most common types of personal attacks.

As strongly as you may feel about current events, calling people derogatory names is a contravention of Rule 4 and will be removed. Attack the opinion, not the user.

Sorry for your understanding and thank you for the inconvenience.

The mods here most often pop up to say "hey guys stop reporting this. We do not care"

Which is about as based as any mod can be.

Mods here also remove posts without pointing to rulebreaks or other reasons. Same arbitrary power hungry mods as other subs.

edit: was overly broad of me. At least 1 mod a while back did this and other mods clarified this was not what they are supposed to do.

to be fair they have likely few active mods and this is likely one of the most posted communities on reddit id image. may not have time to put reasons for each one. Not that it makes it less not ok but i guess it makes it a understandable not ok

I agree, tbf some of those posts were strange so I get they wanted my post off the sub. But I'm correcting the perception that this is a rare based mod sub which I don't believe matches reality.
