Seriously. I carefully considered the use of my tags this morning. I used the tag “corruption” on a story regarding money Joe Biden has taken from overseas. I used the tag “corruption.” That is an appropriate tag for this story. Now, one could agree or disagree that Joe Biden engaged in corruption, but that is the subject of the story.
I cannot see any comments I made that would violate the rules, so I am assuming this is the thing.
I do not intentionally break rules. I have asked, and not really received clarification on what is and is not acceptable. I mentioned that ST is blocked. I went through my entire list ( I banned a lot of people when the Hill still had comments, it’s a looong list) the other day, to try to find him and unblock him, but I did not see him in there. I do not know if it’s a constraint within disqus that only lets you see a certain number or what. I’ll try again when I have the time. The only other person I see listed as a mod I might have blocked is Navy Vet. I’ll look for him too.
So, I’m here, trying to stay within the rules, having no feedback on what I’ve specifically done – like what specific tags I am not allowed to use, or what makes one tag acceptable while another is not, and I can’t even see the posts that are admonishing me for whatever I’m doing. It’s frustrating.
I could just not use tags altogether, because they really don’t mean diddly anyway! But that feels like submission to arbitrary, unclear, and perhaps unfair application of vague standards. I’m willing to be banned permanently if that is what you feel is necessary and correct. I’m stubborn that way.
So, I’m just asking one more time for clarity.
