I've been watching the last few days, what's happening with the mod team here on startrek.website? All of a sudden it's really locked down, and reading through the mod log there's a lot of removals for small things. Are we not allowed to even make jokes here now?

Even literally 4 minutes ago a few comments were removed just for making KHAAAAAN jokes while I was writing this? Yesterday a post asking mods what was up was removed, and there have been a lot of posts asking about opinions that have been just outright removed. Mods are great keeping the anger and hate away, but can we not even joke about our favorite or least favorite episodes now?

Edit: the examples from minutes ago, isn't this what downvoting is for?

Or this one? Again, why couldn't this just be downvoted, if it was being upvotes obviously some people cared about their unpopular opinion

    The top two seem to be removed from Daystrom Institute which is for serious discussions. As for the second, the rules on /c/StarTrek for rule one is "All posts/comments must be thoughtful and balanced." and that post imo doesn't seem thoughtful. He should post something like that in /r/Risa.

    I fully expect to see this post removed soon, just like all the others that TRY to talk about moderation. Hell I was banned once for talking about a post being removed in a thread on another community on a separate instance.

    I can understand pointless or irrelevant comments being removed from Daystrom, sure, but regular posts talking about character analysis or being critical of something are wrongly removed in my opinion.

    It's like that time Starfleet Command was taken over by worm-eating parasites. We have to blast the mods with phasers to save the instance

    While some server meta is allowed here, complaints about specific mod actions are not. If you were truly interested in the answer to your question, you would contact a moderator directly.

    You can consider this a warning.
