Op started a political topic without participating. That is in violation of rule 1, which is written clearly under the removed post. Our cut off time is 2 hour AFTER posting, but we waited till the next day before removing it. We already are way too RRP heavy, so this rule is to reduce frequency of hit and run posters who just throw out a controversial topic and vanish like a ninja, snickering behind the screen at sub users who claw each other's eyes out.
If you like the topic so much, you can start a similar post and follows our submission format:
**Political and other controversial posts**
Due to the large number of political and other controversial posts the subreddit receives and their tendency to take over subreddits, you must meet these requirements to post such content:
Account activity: You must have at least 2 months active participation on r/malaysia.
Post diversity: Accounts may not primarily or exclusively post controversial content. Malaysia is more than its controversies. Accounts with such post histories may be subject to warnings and bans.
Text posts: Must pass these quality tests (with thanks to r/Australia):
Submission titles: Must be a question for discussion, not a conclusion. Mods may request resubmission of posts with particularly incendiary titles.
Word count: Post body must contain a minimum of 200 words, not counting quotes and links.
No ranting into the wind: If OP does not participate in the discussion in the first two hours, the submission will be removed.
Controversial topics are those which consistently generate flaming. These currently include race, religion, politics, COVID-19 and other related sub-dramas.
I seen videos and news snippets that generates flaming, while the poster did not even participate in the discussion. They just post the news/videos and went on their way. Posts aren’t removed for low-effort.
I posted a picture of racist (against malays) comment section of a news app, with the post title is curated to generate a discussion, and whoop deedoo got removed for low-effort.
This sub is infamous for removing a lot of posts, with a lot of people are getting confused on the reason. This sub has a wall of rules, but does not seem to apply them consistently or equally.
Deep in your heart, do you believe you and the other mods are being impartial in enforcing these rules? Don’t you feel that all of these rules are actually making it harder to enforce them, thus making this sub more toxic due to the perceived inequality?
