[Meta] the moderation rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining
the moderation rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining. Nothing about this affects the ranking maths, before anyone asks. Funding and links, in full, because the question deserves a straight answer. Sponsor units are labelled as sponsored. Each vendor source page carries one outbound link to that…
Moderation of individual cases happens in modmail rather than in threads, because a public discussion of one person’s removal is worse for that person than a private one.
sponsor disclosure is on the about page in full
rule-change proposals need a concrete wording, not a complaint
Right, and the storefront links on source pages are marked and disclosed, which is the honest way to do it.
Is this about a policy or about an individual removal?
Correcting my own comment above: the proposal was adopted with an amendment, not as written.
