There is a mod in the politics community who frequently remove anything depending on his mood that day.

I almost started literally thinking of resuming using reddit for the purpose of posting news and politics articles due to that mod removing a lot of stuff.

Can we have a public community vote to remove/ replace this mod?

My reasoning here is that if he is making me hate participating there then probably other people also hate participating there due to his mod actions.

    You’re assuming them a mod reviews every single post. That simply isn’t true. Most moderation occurs after reports, not from the mod zealously scanning for infractions.

    You want bots modding?

    Or are you expecting someone to spend 24/7 on here waiting for an off topic post?

    Because that’s really the only two options for total coverage.

    It ain’t all about you.

    Are you volunteering to take a full time shift, and it’s volunteer because nobody is getting paid? Because otherwise, you know, kinda shitty

    “Mood”, ffs dude, the mod gave a clear and accurate reason for the removal, and your complaint is that they didn’t remove another off topic post you made. Maybe it got missed while he was constantly scanning, waiting for a chance to laugh maniacally and remove another post. I’m sure he is now weeping at having missed that opportunity.

    Tbh here? After two off topic posts, I’d probably ban your ass for a day or until you got in contact to have the community guidelines explained. And after this kind of whiny post made without stopping to think for one second that it’s not okay for a mod to miss a post that’s off topic, but it’s okay for you to do it twice, it would be a permanent ban, because I have zero patience for that kind of idiocy.

    Seriously, you’re throwing a minor tantrum over nothing.
