i messaged the modmail about it.

according to moderator /u/courtiebabe420, it was removed for 'rule 3', for being a 'yes or no' question

[–]courtiebabe420 4ポイント5ポイント  (27子コメント)

Correct.

From our wiki:

3) Askreddit is for open-ended discussion questions. Questions with a single correct answer, that can be researched elsewhere or provide a limited scope for discussion (yes/no, DAE, polls and surveys, etc.) are not appropriate.

We are not a replacement for google. We are here to engage in constructive and entertaining discussion. Posts that do not promote such qualities may be removed. Either/or, "would you rather", or A/B posts also constitute as polls. Also prohibited are posts seeking to compile NSFW-links (as top-level comments). Such posts are not conducive to active discussion, and there are other subreddits where they would be more appreciated.

If I were to create a new thread asking "which reddit alternative do you plan to go to if Ellen Pao's 'safe space' policy is enacted?" would that be allowed? Or would that fall under soapboxing or some other rule?

[–]courtiebabe420 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

Maybe. That would probably be considered a poll, but if you added an "and why?" or a "why not any others?" it would be fine in my book.

Cool beans!

Do it and see how fast it gets removed ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[–]GustavoFrings 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

That would be fine, just as long as your own answer is not included in the textbox. Any personal feelings go in the comment section.

Thanks for coming here to give a more thorough explanation. In your opinion (granting that you are just one AskReddit mod), was there anything else "wrong" with that thread/subject that could have caused its removal?

[–]courtiebabe420 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

No. It's literally because it's a yes/no question. That's it. Add an "and why" to the end, and it would have stayed just fine.

[–]perimason 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Thanks for the fast and honest reply!

That's a total lexical cop-out. Nobody answered it in that way and no one took it to mean "yes or no."

[–]courtiebabe420 1ポイント2ポイント  (16子コメント)

It doesn't matter if it's a "lexical cop-out." That's the rule we enforce.

The phrase you want to use is "The dogmatic application of rules with no thought whatsoever."

[–]courtiebabe420 -1ポイント0ポイント  (1子コメント)

Honestly? There are 8 million users, and about 40 mods. We do our best with the thousands of posts we see a day, and sometimes, dogmatic application is the best route for the long-term goals and growth of the sub.

However, I don't expect everyone to understand or agree. And that's your prerogative. But I'm not here to argue whether it's good policy or not. I'm here to tell you it's what the policy is, and that's why the post was removed.

Have a good day.

If you can't do it right, find people who can.

Are you just not even trying to hid your shitty behavior anymore?

[–]pursuitoffappyness 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

You're welcome to submit the question in a way that complies with the rules. Something like, "How will Ellen Pao's "Safe-Space" vision for reddit impact your future on the site?" would be okay.

[–]courtiebabe420 1ポイント2ポイント  (7子コメント)

I explained why it was removed. I explained how to post it to be within the guidelines. Not sure how I'm being shitty, and I really don't care to know.

I did not come here to be attacked. I came here to provide more information. I won't engage with anyone who chooses to treat me poorly for trying to do so. Have a good day.

[–]CuilRunnings -1ポイント0ポイント  (6子コメント)

I think you treated OP of the other thread very poor by harassing him and removing his submission on a technicality.

[–]courtiebabe420 1ポイント2ポイント  (5子コメント)

I think your definition of "harassing" needs work. Feel free to report me to the admins for harassing that OP, and see what happens. Have a good day.

[–]CuilRunnings -4ポイント-3ポイント  (4子コメント)

LOL yes and please be sure to report the NSA's unconstitutional activities to Obama, I'm sure he's going to get right on that. I know you think you're doing good work, but all you're doing is harassing people who are just trying to share their thoughts and views with the world. It's not right, and you're not a good person for harassing these innocent people. They have feelings too. Try to have some empathy, ok?

[–]antihexe -3ポイント-2ポイント  (2子コメント)

Sure it does. It means it's a stupid rule enforced by stupid people in stupid ways.

The thread itself shows that to be true considering no one answered the question in the way that the rule is supposed to prevent. Read the rule. Read the thread. See that there's no parallel to what is supposed to be restricted.

Gee, thanks. I tried to explain it. I'm through with this conversation if that's how you choose to interact with me. Have a good day.

[–]antihexe -3ポイント-2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Have a good one.

This just in: questioning safe spaces is a violation of the safe space dogma. Isn't that convenient?

Impeach Ellen Pao. Even if she doesn't make any additional changes to this site, she's flying the plane into the ground, and the more sycophantic mods are already following her lead and becoming censorious and harmful to the communities they're supposed to protect.

Wow, I was literally just on that thread, saw a link to this subreddit on it, clicked it, saw the thread here and clicked back and it was gone, all within like 5 minutes.

Meatbags who attempt seppukudon't attempt to save them! . . . China reddit is such a populous nation, it is not as if we cannot do without a few people.

Rough translation of our Glorious Inspiration: Chairman Mao

The crazy ancap has set things up for a gloriously absurd communism of ideas. Why do you not follow 孫子兵法.
