It's different when a moderator uses personal definitions for words as justification for taking action. The guidelines might as well say "posts are subject to our whims" at that point.
- dang 3y agoWe need some sort of definitions in order to moderate at all. I wouldn't call them personal, and since the definitions are principled, I wouldn't call them whims either. Obviously there's some interpretation involved, so different people would apply the same definition differently, but I don't think "not sure if you're being honest or poisoning the well" is such a borderline call.
- dfxm12 3y agoMy comment wasn't borderline. It was fine. If you look up this chain, every possible reason you brought up was addressed, defeated and subsequently abandoned. All that's left is that it was your whim. I can't really argue against that.
