/r/WorldNews mods continue their trend of only applying the rules to posts they don't like by allowing a post which breaks four of their rules to remain up. They even censored my comment pointing all of this out with thirteen minutes for breaking commenting rules that don't exist.

Here is the original post: https://np.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/9mz8wy/trump_suggests_the_climate_may_actually_be/ Here is my comment that was removed: https://np.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/9mz8wy/trump_suggests_the_climate_may_actually_be/e7j5zws/ >For anyone else confused as to how this post is allowed to stay up: >According to the sidebar for /r/WorldNews, the following submissions are not allowed: >US Internal News/US Politics >Editorials, Opinion, Analysis >Editorialized titles >Misleading titles >However there is a loophole that isn't listed on the side bar: *Any article that makes Trump look bad is not required to abide by the rules.* >Here's what he actually said, not what the article used as its title because it's a trash piece on Trump: >>"I can give you reports that are fabulous, and I can give you reports that aren't so good," Trump said. >Maybe the mods should enforce their rules and not allow super misleading titles like this since all they do is fuel their own personal narrative rather than provide actual news. Also, maybe the mods should make the sub about world news, not "only world news except news that makes Trump look bad in which case please post it". What an absolute garbage subreddit. I messaged the mods immediately asking why my comment was removed. Here's that conversation: 1. http://magaimg.net/img/6f67.jpg 2. http://magaimg.net/img/6f68.jpg So they said it broke their "no meta comments" rule. Anyone else not seeing that rule in their sidebar? Ok, then they said to message them if I had an issue with the post. So I did just that. I asked, multiple times, how the post wasn't breaking their rules by absolutely misquoting the president and then using that misquote as the title, making the title absolutely misleading. And of course I get nothing back, just deflection. It's like they have some huge agenda to push stories that make Trump look bad and any comments pointing this out and pointing out how posts that do this are breaking the subreddits rules just get censored away.

A lot of reddit mods are modern day ministry of propaganda. They’ve got no problem with censorship and propaganda, because they feel their positions are the correct ones, and want to steer everyone else that way.

But then you see all the net neutrality and no one should control the internet rhetoric. Really quite confusing.

Reminds me of the rich hosting charity events.

That sub was taken over by CtR/ShareBlue a long time ago. It doesn't matter what you post, they're not interested in different opinions or being held to any standards, only pushing narratives. Save your energy and argue with normies in r/politics or some of the smaller, non-former-default subs if you're looking to change hearts and minds.

What motivates people to do free moderation work for Reddit?

I mod a couple of small places. For me, it's "huh, this is cool, wonder if I can help out?". For a shithole like a former default though, with tens of thousands of users per mod? You couldn't pay me.

I seriously doubt all the mods on the huge subs are doing it for free. They're clearly pushing an agenda, usually in violation of their own rules, which usually comes with money. A mod of worldnews, maxwellhill, very frequently posts Trump hit piece garbage like what OP is talking about. I've also noticed a few of the same people always putting up anti-Trump nonsense in worldnews.

When a sub has multiple million subscribers you can be sure that there are people paying to control what is shown on it. Advertiser are always looking for a way to get their products in our faces, reddit isn't so different anymore. The moderator of r/worldnews are paid to make sure that the content advertisers want to show is shown and the one they don't want isn't.

They always seem so smug in the replies. They really think they are important.

U/Null banned me for absolutely nothing. I imagine him to be a 300-450 lb man-child living on someone's dirty couch in Portland. The ban does save me the trouble of getting pulled into arguments with misguided children though, so thank you u/null, you disgusting waste of life.
