I'm also apparently uncivil for chastising someone who was being a sourpuss.

Can it be a rule you actually have to include the post that got you banned

I didn't make a post, and the related comments are in the screenshot. Or am I misunderstanding the request?

A link to the post you commented on for context

Posters are free to do this, but it's not a rule.

I think it should. By not including this information it's hard to understand what's even happening. I guess it falls into the problem of all communities built around collective hate of something which is that the default response of people will just to be angry at whatever is posted.

I like the idea of a community that calls out mod abuse but I'm seeing lots of posts where it's like "I said these things and I was banned." Like okay? What judgements can I really make. Are you being honest? If I go to the post will you have really only said those things? Will there be other comments where you are saying other things that might play into the mods decision? Simply providing links to posts would help so much in quelling break out bloodlust in these lynch mob like communities. And for the cases where there is definitive mod abuse if the post isn't linked I can't go there and see that.

Probably give this community a couple more chances, if the quality of posts stays like this I'll just filter it like I do with all the other "thing bad" communities.

This is just a support hotline. There may be other communities that better suit this criteria, if it's what you'd prefer.
