Unless they're promoting their own blog, or spamming the same article/comment in multiple subs, they're not spamming.

If it's relevant to Canada, it's a valid post, regardless of how much you or I may personally agree or disagree with the content.

Let the subscribers of this sub indicate how appropriate the submission is with their upvotes or downvotes. We don't need the mods deciding for us what we should or shouldn't read.

lol. If you modded a real sub (not one with 6 users like /r/warcrimes), you would understand that 'mob rule' is a terrible way to run a sub. People will upvote something with a shiny headline. A mods job is to remove the shit spray painted gold.

meh. Good mods only remove actual violations instead of removing content because they personally don't agree with it. Really don't care what you think about how "real" my sub is or how I moderate it.

They didn't remove it 'because they dont agree'. That's your straw man. They removed it because it's a biased, shit source being submitted by an obvious ring of people.

And when people like you who have no experience moderating a truly busy sub talk about what 'good mods' should do, it means absolutely nothing. You have no expertise on the subject as to what constitutes a 'good mod' beyond your own biased opinion.

If /r/canada was run by mob rule, as you suggest, it would be absolute shite. Mods exist to prevent that from happening. Your armchair advice means nothing. You have absolutely no idea the amount of shit they have to wade through to give you a front page resembling something worthwhile.

What you're suggesting is basically no moderation, mob rule. If that existed, you would be SCREAMING for active moderation.

Really don't care what you think about how "real" my sub is or how I moderate it.

Well, that's ironic don'tchathink?

Nah. Just don't remove articles because the mod personally disagrees. That's not mob rule. That's how reddit works.

MOB RULE! MOB RULE! MOB RULE! lol

Not what happened. You just repeating this lie doesn't make it true.

That's not mob rule. That's how reddit works.

Clearly you know how reddit works and no one else does. even the mods and Admin. You're a spammer. Go away.
