u/luckybdx4 acts petty and he lacks class and manners. It's sad to see how this sort of people drag the name every mod, and every redditor even, through the gutter just because they can't grow up and admit they fucked up.

Did you see the guy later on in the thread who actually explains it and everybody is looking for him to comment on the troll? Someone actually compares the dopehead mod to the actions of government officials.
I don't know if you've been around for a while or not but this has happened a dozen odd times. Nobody gives a fuck when the rule is enforced over mundane shit but when they remove something controversial some idiot always goes to these meta subs losing their damn minds. I'm willing to bet (but not post results because I'm on mobile) you could search the sub and 90% of the controversy would be explained by this rule.
Fucking lol. Reddit as an entity gives exactly zero fucks about integrity, it cares about page views. The dumbfucks at /r/undelete are still giving reddit what it wants.
Except in this case it clearly doesn't show anything, just /u/wutnolol being too moronic to realize that piece was clearly opinionated speculation, the mod told him that exactly, he shouldn't be obliged to repeatedly repeat himself or be nice to some extremely disrespectful twat.
REDDING, Calif. — The Transportation Security Administration has started using a new and more rigorous pat-down at airports, which one passenger this week likened to “groin scrutiny.”
Nico Melendez, a public affairs manager for TSA, confirmed that the new pat-down procedures are supposed to be followed as of Thursday, but he was “limited on what can be shared” about them. He did say that the new "universal pat-down" doesn't involve checking any extra body parts, though.
“This standardized pat-down procedure continues to utilize enhanced security measures implemented several months ago, and does not involve any different areas of the body than were screened in the previous standard pat-down procedure," a prepared statement from TSA reads. "TSA continues to adjust and refine our systems and procedures to meet the evolving threat and to achieve the highest levels of transportation security.”
A Bloomberg story Friday quoted another TSA spokesman as saying that searches "will be more thorough and may involve an officer making more intimate contact than before."
The new procedure comes after an in-depth study TSA conducted in response to classified 2015 test results from the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General. Bloomberg reported that the office criticized TSA because it found some airport officers didn't notice guns and other weapons that were part of that test.
Melendez called it a streamlined procedure that reduces confusion and “lessens the cognitive burden for our officers.”
It didn’t lessen the cognitive burden for local writer Joel Stratte-McClure, though.
In a blog post, Stratte-McClure said he was patted down because he never takes off a gold bracelet on his right wrist, and the TSA agent told him “we’ve got to do more extensive vertical and horizontal pat downs” because “bad people conceal weapons in their pants.” In a tweet about the incident, he called it “groin scrutiny.”
Stratte-McClure said the pat-down happened at Redding Municipal Airport as he began a flight to Egypt via connecting flights in Boston and Washington, D.C.
Airport manager Bryant Garrett said he hadn’t been informed of any new procedures from TSA. The agency normally does tell him about new protocols, he said, though “sometimes it’s not timely.”
“I apologize if somebody felt like they had a bad experience out here," he said.
Expanding on the new procedure, Melendez noted that TSA’s job is to keep travelers safe. That can include pat downs either because, like Stratte-McClure, a person sets off security technology or chooses not to go through it, or he or she may get one “as part of our unpredictable security measures.”
Officers were to be trained in the new procedure and demonstrate proficiency before being allowed to perform it on the public, Melendez said.
He noted that people can request to be screened in private and be accompanied by a companion of their choice, and that a second officer should always be present during a private screening.
While the universal pat-down is new, allegations that TSA goes too far when screening travelers are anything but.
Garrett said people nationwide have complained about protocols the agency adopted about 10 years ago.
They included a CNN commentator who wrote about the humiliating "vaginal pat-down" she said she endured while flying from Detroit to New York last year. The commentator, Angela Rye, said a female TSA agent ran the side of her hand through her genital area twice when she was chosen at random for additional screening.

Which of these things makes this "opinionated speculation" and not a news story, in the same way literally every other post on /r/news is a news story?
When that bot posts stuff from the front page, /r/undelete is kinda interesting. When people post meta about some mod injustice, it's a total shitshow.

Good point.

Yeah that dude being a dope really makes us all look bad.
Like I was thinking about coming out as a redditor to my parents but once the world hears about this mod I'll face huge backlash.

i get the feeling that modding r/news is all he has going for him, tbh.
u/luckybdx4, mate, it's fucking reddit. you ain't actually shit.

/r/undelete - for people socially retarded enough to whine about how reddit is out to get them, but too actually retarded to leave.

Wait, you actually bought that? A rule banning stories about things that are "about to happen"?

Joke aside, this whining does serve a purpose: to show how the site actually works. Without /r/undelete, there is even less accountability.

Well at least we know u/LuckyBdx4 isn't some sort of paid shill. That's a level of petty, shit-tier insults that money just can't buy.

I didn't know news was supposed to delete opinion pieces. That's like all that sub consists of.
n/a glmox 2017-03-04
imagine being this mad about something this unimportant
n/a hotblondeboob 2017-03-04
That is what I think 98% of the time I see people mad on the internet.
n/a not---a---bot 2017-03-04
Is importance really a factor in something being infuriating?
n/a glmox 2017-03-04
i mean yeah if you're not a retard
