reason: Rule 3 - No opinion articles

This is the article, as you can see it is very clearly a news article about a current event and not at all an opinion article.

reason: Misinformation. Two parliament victories out of 650 members is NOT a nightmare for the opposition.

It’s a clickbaity title at worst, b ut it is not misinformation. A party losing a swing seat is not a good sign, especially considering Starmers growing unpopularity. This ban was purely a mods opinion, there was no ‘misinformation’.

reason: Multiple posting rule violations, especially opinion and misinformation articles. Please read the rules in the sidebar in future.

The mod used these two lies to justify a ban from the community. What point is reading the rules in the sidebar meant to serve if they’re not legitimately being enforced?

    That’s not really how it seems like at all.

    I have actually spoken with different mods in both World and News and after getting further clarification around what sources are permitted and are not (ex. I can use anything that doesn’t fall under the “Questionable” list) it was all resolved long ago.

    This is also the only time a post was removed for being an ‘opinion’ article, yet it’s specifically mentioned as a cause for the ban?

    It’s not due to a “history”, and most of my posts are well received such as ‘White House says health insurance needs to fully cover condoms, other over-the-counter birth control’

    Now how about instead of trying to find any excuse to justify this, you address the points made in my original comment?

      I can only base my opinion on what i can observe, not on the information you withhold, while i think “misinformation” might be too strong, i don’t think it’s unfair to get rid of clickbait article on news community, which is the reason i suggest what i suggest. On the other hand, i can’t really see and justify what you’re currently doing, therefore i can’t based my opinion on your point of view. And no, i will not address your point, i’m not even the mod or admin of that instance, your fight is with them, not me.
