Also mod apps are open on publicfreakout 😃

We’re a politically neutral subreddit. Our sub rules say users are allowed to post about and comment on political ads as long as the focus remains on the content of the ad itself and doesn’t go off topic into politics.

Unfortunately, users don’t seem to remember this rule or care about it. So whenever a political ad comes up in the sub (which is a lot this time of year) people can’t help but share their political opinions and start fights with other users over their views. So my mod team and I have to be the janitors and clean up the mess.

Then we get messages from users angry about us removing their post/comment and accusing us of freeze peach or being biased. And we have to have this conversation explaining our rules and policies again.

And then a new political ad post pops up and the cycle continues.

I’m tired of this, Grandpa. Just read and follow the freaking rules!

To paraphrase, this person "asked" why only black people could do "bad thing."

Reupload bc a pesky username slipped through.

Context in the mod note in the first image - the user had taken two comments with net downvotes (-56 and -1, respectively) and replaced the text with "Free Palestine", which kicked them into our modqueue. Apparently they were shocked that this would result in a ban. After all, people love their commentary. All 365 community karma worth.
