Reposting cause mods didn’t let me know title needed to be changed from less charged title DNC Delegate Attacked for Gaza Protest Banner Supports Harris

Follow own rules for comm

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.

    Reposting cause mods didn’t let me know title needed to be changed

    Posters are expected to read the rules; hence no warning, just removal.

      Keep in mind that matching the headline and pasting a link is often a real drag when posting from some mobile apps:

      • open article in browser app
      • copy article title
      • switch to Lemmy app
      • create new post
      • paste headline
      • switch back to browser app
      • copy link
      • switch back to Lemmy app
      • paste link
      • tap post

      There’s a fifty fifty chance that when you switch back to the Lemmy mobile app, the OS will have “flushed” the current app state to save memory and you’ll be back at the main feed having lost your post. Depends on the app, device, how long you took to switch back, and amount of available memory.

        Still. All you had to do was repost; complying with the rule you broke, that was pointed out to you via the removal message. It’s not like you were punished for it.

        You chose to draw further attention to your rule breaking. Mods aren’t babysitters; they’re volunteers with limited time and lots of work to do.

        Also; I’ve never seen an [active] automod on Lemmy, and given the pinned post about the other bot(s), they don’t seem to be working as intended/very well. Not all that surprised it didn’t notify you.

          There was no messages.

          My point is to draw attention to that and the fact they aren’t even following their own rules for situations like this

            Once again:

            It’s right there in the mod log. As lemmy doesn’t notify users of mod actions; it’s your job to go look at it when you notice your post/comment was removed.

            I agree that part of the software should be improved, but that’s where we’re at now. Gotta work with what you have.

            My point is to draw attention to… …the fact they aren’t even following their own rules for situations like this

            Then you should have made a [meta] post talking about it and requesting change; not added passive aggressive notes to an otherwise unrelated news article.

              not added passive aggressive notes to an otherwise unrelated news article.

              I don’t think it’s passive aggressive.

                Whining about this under a random news article isn’t going to change things. This topic should have been a separate, constructive, post; now this whole comment section and the pile of downvotes is all about you, and the news that was shared has been completely overshadowed because of it.

                Get over it and move on; or find a more constructive method of communication.

                I won’t reply further.

                  Their own rule says they will notify you.

                  It’s not like you’ve brought anything constructive into this thread so good day
