Oh you got banned from news too? I called someone a dingus and the comment got deleted. Someone asked what the comment said and I replied saying I called someone a dingus and why and included an apology for calling someone a dingus in the first place. Apparently that counted as calling someone a dingus for a second time so a mod banned me for a week with a nice ‘enjoy your ban’ message. Thankfully there are other mods that are more reasonable and actually had a constructive conversation about things after the fact. Totally accepted the ban cause I broke a rule and was rude but yea, one of those people isn’t doing the team a lot of favors.
That mod sounds like a dingus
Looks like several rule 4 violations (post title must match the article) combined with posting a questionable source (Daily Mail, blech) got a 1 day ban.
Takeaway should be making sure you follow the rules and don’t editorialize the headlines.
