politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I can see why you wouldn't want to know. But as a user, I want to be able to not have to check if things are deleted or modified for no reason. Good luck for next year, it's going to get crazy I'm sure.
I'm not in a position to say what the Admins can or cannot do because I'm not an Admin. :)
What I CAN say, as an IT professional, when you have APIs and bots and tools of all sorts, the only real limit is "how much time and effort are you willing to throw at it?"
It's a little disheartening to hear, tbh. I've always thought of all of the instances as hobbyists just doing their thing, but we don't really know. I do know now that the LW admins can be trolls, I don't know if Ruud is one of them or doesn't have the time to check on them though.
Oh would you shut the ever living fuck up?
You are whining relentlessly about the admins and saying they're doing shit that isnt obvious and accusing them of whatever else.
Where's your proof? Oh yeah. You don't have any. Wouldn't be surprised if you're YoBucks alt at this point.
