I would've removed the post if I saw it before it gained traction. The thing with these things is people usually upvote them because they see it at !all instead of thinking it fits !upliftingnews, and too much of these posts can dilute the quality of our community and drive away users who wanted the specific thing we're looking for.

Your submission in "Sexual predator Noel Clarke loses libel case against The Guardian" was removed as not uplifting.

Your submission in "LA Ice protests spurred US military to identify ‘hotels to avoid’ due to ‘harassment’" was removed as not sure if schadenfreude but definitely not uplifting.

you know what?

you've just darn saved this post from removal, my friend.

Your submission in "Police seize supercars worth more than £6m in crackdown on antisocial driving in London" was removed as i don't see what's uplifting here, sorry.

Your submission in "Horror moment superyacht bursts into flames off Ibiza coast before sinking" was removed as schadenfreude. Note that this is your second time breaking the rule in three days.

I do not find it comfortable to dehumanize such a large group of people, especially the ordinary citizens who may well be trapped under their regime. The context here is completely unrelated to Russian soldiers, who are guilty but also definitely not mindless anyways.

It's not a community rule, but I was under the impression that it fell under the instance discrimination rules.

I don't think it's possible to summarize the rules any further (besides dropping the parenthetical) without causing more people to just read the summarized summarized version and think they've understood all the rules and go on to break some rules. and there's a certain charm to the persuasion-style sidebar we have i wanna preserve lol

On the formatting: I'm very keen on preserving the semantic formatting of HTML. HTML without the style attribute is really only supposed to tell you the relation between the elements instead of styling things. It lays out how the page is organized so any client/user may decide how to customize that layout themselves if they want to. Replacing semantics with styling removes that semantic meaning and in certain cases can make it harder for screenreaders. Here, the semantics have to be inferred from the decoration.

But thanks for your time!

and nay, it doesn't need to be textual

okay this was something I worried about. I made sure to format the list with markdown syntax that would generate HTML for accessibility but it looks like it's just made things more inaccessible. I'll see if changing to headings make it better.

i think a lot of news from months ago has quite a bit of relevance to the current day, and i haven't seen much posts about things that happened years ago. for the latter case i think it really depends on community sentiment reflected on the comments of said posts.

i'm not going to remove this since while this might be a bad post because of the OrphanCrushingMachine aspect, it still fits with the sidebar and arguably generates the emotions the community is looking for. though if you feel like a vote on whether to forbid such posts with this post (or another one) being the bar, feel free to say so and we'll set it up.

Your submission in "Americans Say No As Terrified ICE Agents Flee From Angry Citizens" was removed as schadenfreude.

I don't think we should ban until IamNobuddy shows a pattern of continuing to post things from utubepublisher.in. They's seemingly-habitually posted these links for a very, very, very long time and their posts two weeks ago here were the reason I issued the utubepublisher.in clarification. But I think after this warning we should remove the user's utubepublisher.in posts on sight.

Your submission in "How the diamond industry lost its sparkle" was removed for schadenfreude.

Your submission in "An Italian mechanic Andrea Marazzi has transformed a 1993 Fiat Panda into the world’s narrowest electric car, bringing innovation, nostalgia, and sustainability together on four wheels." was removed for: borderline. i held off on removing this since i felt like the sheer will here to create a better thing is uplifting and inspring but then I also don't want this sub to turn into the "cool DIY products" place..
