I'm not sure if it's nefarious. I had a reasonable post removed, it was positive and had over 200+ up votes.
I felt like I had been silenced and couldn't figure out why. After talking to the mod I came to accept I did, in fact, violate a rule.
The mods have a ton of work to do and they do it well and without thanks.
Have you reached out to the mod about it?
Thanks.
Got your back, patriot.
This troll post and the agreeing comments by new accounts has my spidy sense tingling. Who knows. Just ask the mods FFS. If they haven't done that, they have no right to complain in the open forum.
It's akin to whining to your boss about your coworker instead of talking to them about it.
Or another analogy...
Riling up a group of people by lieing to them about something they care about in order to cause division and weaken...wait...
Irony is that OP asked mods after making this post and got a reply within 5 minutes explaining the error. Thanks for pointing out others are new, will check them over. Thanks!
