Fun fact, this website has a weird way of treating you when you get banned. Because the only thing that will happen is that trying to post a comment or anything will result in an infinite loading screen that will not allow you to get anything on the sub.

I checked this by trying to post stuff on other subs, and it worked perfectly.

I came here after the fiasco of dndmemes and the invasion of goblin porn we used against reddit administrators. When posts stopped getting uploaded, I took my bow and left for here, a website advertised by mods that were themselves banned from reddit for allowing the 18 + content to exist.

This is context for me to you for a simple reason : I was banned after posting an alignment chart that included 18 + content. Something I thought was funny and hot and wanted to share it around.

The thing is, I marked it as NSFW and there aren’t really any strict rules about the sub. Either I was banned by mods without warning, or enough people reported the post and it was enough. I tried contacting the mods, to no avail.

And so again, I will leave this website, disgusting by how bad the moderation here is. But not without leaving you a warning. Apparently, if you post something that will offend enough people (even if you mark it NSFW and is still RPG content) you will get your head chopped off.

I do not intend to use this account to even check any answer you would leave me. I no longer care. Just like I no longer cared about reddit.

Be careful and do not trust the rules, the mob of chaperones will get you to never be allowed to load a new post in.

May your 20s be natural.

    Based on the only recently removed user and their visible posts I’d say it’s fair to call it not suitable for the community and also that they had a raw deal - should have been given a warning or something before the ban. I’d be happy to see content like that but likely would need a dedicated community for spicy memes.

    I definitely think the community should call out the limits.

    Thanks for sharing the mod log and your views!

      FWIW: Temp bans are frequently used as a “warning” both within lemmy moderation and on reddit. Not saying everywhere does it, but its a pretty common practice. I assume that’s what the above ban was for, along with the note that was basically “please don’t post porn”.

      One key difference, though, is that the lemmy moderation action does not create a message that goes to the user and opens a dialogue like it does on reddit. For whatever reason, lemmy users are expected to go check the mod logs when their stuff gets moderated, rather than a message being sent to them. This is expected behavior of the software, which feels really weird/wrong to me, but it is what it is.

      As far as this particular moderation action goes: my stance as an admin is that mods of the communities are allowed to moderate their community as they see fit, so i have no real opinion one way or the other here on if that should be allowed or not.

        That lack of communication along with a ban is a pretty important difference, thanks for highlighting it. Maybe the mod could also send a message to the user with the context of the ban, but they have to do it manually.

        I appreciate your light touch on moderation, though I think you might want to have really basic rules e.g. no CP, to protect yourself as the apparent owner of the site.

          That’s actually covered by rule 1 of the site rules.

          1. Don’t do anything illegal - anything against the law is basically prohibited here. We’d like to keep our instance relatively above board.
