Aussie.zone rules:
Golden rule - don’t be a dick. If you wouldn’t say it in front of your grandmother, don’t post it.
No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.
Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here.
No porn.
No Ads / Spamming.
Nothing illegal in Australia.
Hmmmm seems like some pro labor mod is doing some apologia for crimes that people hung at Nuremberg for.
Forgive me for dispensing with civility while hellfire rains down.
I would prefer this post be restored or the rules be updated for clarity

If submitting news articles with titles that aren't copies of the source is against the rules then that should be written down and communicated.
I'm not the only person to do this, but my post is removed. why?

Why is it ok for mods to remove posts without reference to rules?
What is the point of rules if they don't bind mods?

yes I did, no response

Yes.. no response in the sub 1 hour timeframe since you messaged me.
I consider editorialised headlines to break global rule 0 of AZ, especially when being deliberately antagonistic in attempting to provoke a fight from those with differing opinions to you. ie don't be a dick. If you want to pick a fight, do it elsewhere.
In this case, I agree with the broad strokes of your opinion on the topic of the article you linked. Repost it with the original published title and it will stay. Add your own commentary to the post, not the headline.

can you amend the rules to clarify this stance please?
Taleya@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 223d
Did you message them at 4am on a Monday morning AEST? Because it looks like you did.
Taleya@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 223d
Oh i've definitely seen stuff warned / removed over edited headlines before. Even seen posts restored after mistaken shots (hosting site had chnaged title but left original URL)

Untrue. Starting with a statement of "fact" like that immediately has me questioning if you are posting in good faith.
The information you've previously compiled was either moderated already, or deleted by author when I saw most of if. What remained were ambiguous, possibly offensive comments if interpreted in particular ways . Either way... I didn't see anything warranting further action than had already occurred. That and your actions at the time, harassing said user in every thread they posted in, had me take your input with a large grain of salt.
I don't think there is anything I can say to convince you how wrong you are on this one. We do the best with the information available to us, and we're only human.
As for your edit:
I'm not. I'm happy to ban users when it is warranted.
Can you point me towards any such content on AZ?
I've not seen any unaddressed reports for them that warrant action on my part. I'm not online 24x7 though, so often reports are addressed by other mods/admins before I see what was reported.
Looking over comments from this user, I see plenty to dislike. But I won't ban a user because I dislike them, their opinions or necessarily how they express them.

YDI.
You deliberately set out to start a fight, and when that didn't work you're trying to start one here. Any mod worth their salt can smell that behaviour a mile away.

PTB. I'm a big fan of clear rules, and "don't editorialize headlines" is a fairly common rule. How else are users supposed to understand what "being a dick" means on your instance/community?

No sexist insults here. Change that.

Not a bitch. Just being a dick. In contravention of the rules.

They failed the golden rule, it was right there the whole time.
