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.
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:
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.
Boost has an auto fill button that copies the headline.
I used sync which normally does but didn’t here. Others posting same link in other comms had same headline as my original post
I use that with Sync all the time. I just click the little button to autofill it.
Yeah it’s awesome
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.
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.
Modlog isn’t a notification method. Their own rule says they will notify before removing.
