      Fine, I accept that, but what exactly did I say that caused the post to be removed? All I said was he was probably a paid posted. How is that not being civil?

        You can see your modlog here:

        “This poster is a paid Russian sympathizer. Baby account, bad English, and only posted in posts regarding this topic.”

        Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (perjorative, perjorative). **It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (perjorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members.**Engage in good-faith and with respect!

        Attacking other users, which you did three times in one comment, is not allowed.

          Yeah, no. Your interpretation is incorrect in my opinion.

          Yes, it was a baby account. Only 6 hours old. The icon next to their name is a baby. How can you punish me for something the site does as well?

          Also, the English the person used did not sound like it was English as a first language.

          Lastly, let’s take a look at your verbiage.

          Perjorative: expressing contempt or disapproval

          Calling a person a paid Russian sympathizer does not meet this definition. He was acting as if Russia is the victim in this story. I was saying what he was.

          I would appreciate if when reports are made, they are actually looked at and not blindly removed.

                No, it’s not. Calling out what someone is does not meet the definition. Additionally, you said I did three things in my comment, most of which were false.

                  Unless you have positive proof that someone is a paid Russian shill, yes, that IS a personal attack and will be removed.

                  The rule is simple: You do not attack other users. Full stop. You can disagree with their ideas, but the minute you throw down unfounded accusations, that’s a different deal.
