I got banned from a subreddit because the BBC changed the article title. There are just too many rules and too many bad rules.
It’s not bad rules, it’s bad moderation. They are way too quick with their ban hammer. And just wait until we get AI mods
I think part of it comes from moderators being overworked, which means they can’t take the time to investigate or understand nuance or context.
In this respect, AI tools could be beneficial if used appropriately, though current moderation practices do not suggest this is likely.
What do you mean? We already have that lol.
AI mods could be much better for cases like this. Imagine the mod responding immediately when you try to post something! If it’s a mistake, you could fix. If not, it may never even see the light of day
Taking this post at face value, an AI mod could have acted immediately, before BBC changed their headline, so op would not have been banned for this reason
I never understood banning someone for one offense. No one wastes their time reading every rule on every sub before posting. And because reddit only actively promotes big subs it is really hard to create an alternative sub with better rules.
On the one hand, modding is a thankless job cleaning up unending shit. I can’t blame mods who take shortcuts, or jump to conclusions, or create inviolable rules.
On the other hand, it’s a volunteer position. If you don’t want to do it right, why do it at all?
I’ve been banned for so many incredibly stupid things, and many I don’t even know why I was banned.
I got banned from c/Tumblr (on Lemmy.world I think) for making a joke about how Tumblr screenshots always include a stupid reply that never adds to the joke. First offense, no warning. By the powermod who has since gone on hiatus
That’s awesome. Glad you’re here.
You’re still on Reddit? Lol
Can’t you just change the title /s
