Do you really need the exact description of the rule if the rule # that was broken was provided?
If its an interpretation of the rule then it would make no difference anyway, and is also pretty unlikely to be the kind of thing triggered by an automod.
The lemmy.ml admins often remove a post with a reason like “rule 2”, and then people get confused because rule 2 of the community they posted in wasn’t broken. Turns out they mean instance rule 2, but they never say that. I think that’s too unclear.
Thats not really giving you the specific rule though, they absolutely should note it being an instance rule.
Though all too often, I’d say with them its worse, and their interpretation of a rule that they are using to remove/ban, making it even more unclear more often than not.
No, it’s a comm about criticism of mods on power trips. If you don’t read the sidebar and get banned for that, it’s not power tripping, that’s you being an idiot.
Likewise, if you’re being an idiot and you come to this comm, you can expect to be viciously made fun of.
Are you expecting people to remember every community they engage with rules and read the rules each time they comment or post?
No, but at least read rules after removals amd then not be upset about relevant removal
or when a post is removed the mod can copy past the exact description of the rule

As an admin when i remove a post or comment, i say exactly why it was removed
That wasn’t really my question, but congratulations. Good for you.
The op commented sbout the vagueness of rules in the modlog. That’s the only part I agreed with
Yes, and I pointed out that a specific rule # is not any different than the text of that specific rule copied into a modlog.
Edit: LOL
Yes.
At least to post.
Do you not read the rules before posting an article in a community?
I mean, it doesn’t matter what we expect, does it? just matters what the mod of that comm expects.
It does to him and to me
well I don’t think either one of you are the mod in question, now are you? 🤣
This is a community about critisizing mods. You expect us to not talk about what fit with the community?
