As he said, modlogs are public, and it seems like other user retreived the trace of what you call an “abuse of power” : sopuli.xyz/comment/12732467 .
It is in his right as a moderator to chose how he moderate the communities he has the right to. If he finds your comment pedantic and annoying, and chose to remove it, so be it.
I’m not taking sides here. I don’t know the whole story, and I doubt anyone else here does. With the little context provided, It’d be hard to take knowingly a side.
But in both case, this is textbook harassement as you are copy-pasting this comment on every community this is posted on. This community has a pretty clear rule against harrassement (rule 2), which you are breaching, offense for which I’ll use my g… mod given right of banning you for the time being (I’ll re-evaluate tomorrow when I’ll be less tired).
Edit : After talking with OP via PM, a ban of 7 days was issued
c/games mod here. Yeah, we wish for our community to be more about discussing about games themselves than memeing in order to avoid meme drowning other content.
Meme are funny, I don’t personally mind them, but once you allow too much of them, you end up becoming a meme community.
Maybe we should create, if it doesn’t exist, a “gamesmeme” or similar to offload if it tend to overwhelm c/gaming too, or create a dedicated day to meme out (aka “meme monday”).
In a way, this does break rule 4, as multiples report pointed out, but I’ll allow it for this time in order for y’all to congratulate our fellow gamer here for its huge accomplishments.
OP is advised, in hope to appease the report queue gods, to kindly celebrate next achievement in the most monotonous, mild and definitively not memey manner. Thaaaanks. (/s)
Usually it is the same person who post them, if you are bothered by them, just block those two or three users and you won’t ever be bothered by them again.
Personally I hesitated to allow them at first, but it gives a bit more diversity to the community posts, and it doesn’t seem to be a bad things. For now I don’t think it is too much, even with two posters (the original and his… sidekick? 😆), but if the community subscribers start to down-vote it to hell (like was yours), then I’ll ask both of them to redirect those post to a dedicated community, like feddit.uk/c/photomode, linked by @Zahille7
From the term used I can easily determine you are more conservative than most here, and even if your comment got reported multiple time on the basis of rule 2, I’d like not to overreact and give you the occasion to develop a bit more your arguments by providing examples instead of just “its like that because I feel like it is like that”.
So, could you please kindly provide, as other in this thread asked, example of :
Games where those “political” topics doesn’t belong
Review criticizing SpaceMarine 2 for not “pandering to LGBTQ”
I believe this would help open a more open conversation than some politically opposite attacking each other personally.
In my humble opinion, Games being a work of art as much as it is an entertainment, it is up to the creator to chose what kind of story it want to talk about.
Does they want to talk about how the LGBTQ community, which has been oppressed for a long time, in their game ? Fine by me, at lease I can have some insight from the viewpoint of someone of this community, albeit virtual, to better understand said topic.
Those topics where not talked at all previously, so of course it would feel like it becomes a lot more present in the last years, just by contrast with the absence of it in previous titles. It is also a brand new storytelling topic on which game designer have very little experience with, so it is logical for it to be talked about awkwardly at time (thus the need for specialized consulting firm like Sweet Baby Inc), with some very obvious stitches at times. Just give them time to understand how to blend it better in the story and gameplay, and you’ll get the fun games you wish for, with a diverse cast you won’t even have to complain about.
