I just commented on this post and it got removed very quickly. Then I noticed that all of the comments had been removed and the post is locked.
I cannot understand why this happened, as the comments section had seemed pretty reasonable to me.
This seems like bad moderation and I’m now less inclined to post or comment in the world news community. What should I do?
I tried messaging a mod that is seemingly online and actively posting, but I got no response.
It does seem heavy-handed though. If the mod had had enough of the cat-fighting, they could have simply locked the comments instead of removing the post itself.
The only reason to go that far would be if the submitted content contravened the community’s rules.
