I’m not OP, but from the timeline it seems legit.

Timeline:

  1. OP posts comment
  2. Mod removes comment with no reason
  3. Mod post the exact same comment that was removed
  4. OP complains and shows a screenshot.

Edit: User says there was a reason-

My comment was similar to Stupes.

The reason for it being deleted was the same as his reply to Stupe

That means the mod removed the post because it was similar to an entirely different user and then posts the same thing as the user’s comment that was removed, 15 minutes later.

I don’t understand the why of this? I’ve seen him be great, what is the point of all this.

EDIT 2: This seems to be my mistake or OP was fibbing. Regardless, still a little weird, but feel free to go after me if you feel necessary. I apologize for the drama.

    This is so dumb I want to chalk it up to a mistake but I can’t think of how it could be. Puzzling. Will give @jordanlund@lemmy.world a chance to explain before casting judgement.

    Edit: I believe this is a misunderstanding of the situation. Here’s the original comment, which was not identical to the one Jordan then posted. It may have been removed by mistake. I’m guessing they hit remove instead of reply which is why the comment showed up as the reason for removal.

    Always post the modlog folks!

      That was the first comment, not the second. You’re mistaken on what is happening.

      Also, why did he post the exact same thing and not just restore the guy’s comment?

        I am no fan of jordanlund but this seems like an actual mistake. He did remove the comment with the apparently intended reply text and has since restored the original post.

        The whole thing makes it look like jordanlund is incompetent because he couldn’t tell the difference between a reply and a removal reason. Maybe they look the same, I dunno because I don’t mod anything.

        Give me the modlog entry for the second comment. As seen in the screenshot the reply the mod posted was put as the reason for removing the comment (‘for the following reason: “They wouldn’t have…”’); that wasn’t the content of the comment. Check the modlog and see for yourself.

          FYI, I did check the modlog. I think they have a holding pattern for a few hours on their logs or something and now let them through. It seems to be the case on this community as well since I see someone’s comment was removed and they were banned but you can’t see the log.

          You’re right, that was the reason and I misunderstood or OP was fibbing on what really happened.

          I will say this, there was still no reason for them to remove a similar comment, but that’s my opinion and I’m not a mod there.

            If you filter for moderation actions upon Darkard, you’ll find a moderation action for ~50 minutes ago that restores the same comment that was deleted with “? bogus removal?”. People who are mods can also see that the restoration was also committed by jordanlund.

              As I said, I checked the modlog, but didn’t check his specifically. I didn’t realize that was an option.

        It was restored once they realized what happened.

        I didn’t see any other comment removals in the modlog. Posting the modlog is a rule here for a reason. If my understanding is incorrect then you need to prove that in a way that can be verified.

      Yeah, not sure what happened there. I saw two users making the same comment, replied to one then was in the process of copy/pasting the reply to the other and the comment had already been removed.

      I figured “🤷‍♂️ I guess they saw the other comment and removed it” and went on with my day. Wasn’t aware of the drama until I saw the other replies.

      I restored the post with commentary, not quite sure how it all happened.

    Well this escalated somewhat…

    Anyway, all sorted, now back to your regularly scheduled drama.

      This would have bugged me for a bit if I didn’t track some things down. I learned a few things through this, so thanks for pointing all of it out.
