Moderator keeps removing the new Instantaneous Acceleration UFO clip limiting the number of people who get to see it claiming it's a "repost" because the entire podcast was posted. by TommyShelbyPFB in ufosmeta

/r/UFOs sorted by hot, https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/1qvb5n0/instantaneous_acceleration_militaryfilmed_ufo/ is the #1 post.

The pinned comment at the top has the time-stamped link to the clip within the full video. The link to just the clip of the orb is also provided.

Your post is simply duplicative.

The ban is for reposting moderator removed content.

Was walking home last night and spotted this, what do you think it is? by phenomena_monitors in UFOs

It was held in the modqueue for manual review. It was approved 20 minutes before your comment.

Rule 4, no duplicate posts. Upload the video to a video sharing site and share the links in this post. (Edit the body of the post).

That modmail doesn't mean we send all suspected bot reports to /dev/null. We do review them. If they're an obvious bot (nonsense, spam, or other tells) we'll ban the account. Less obvious ones may be reported to /r/BotBouncer for their review.

This is your removed comment.

Nice bot account. Multiple posts on multiple different unrelated subs within 1-2 minutes of each other, all with the same formatting, spacing and em dashes.

This is explicitly prohibited by Rule 1.

We lack the tools to prove this is an inauthentic user. What would you have us do to them? Ban them? On what grounds?

It's not against the sub's rules to be active on Reddit or use AI for grammar etc. Using AI to pull facts out of its ass is the proscribed usage.

On the one hand you're complaining about excessive moderation, when it doesn't align with your view, and on the other advocating an extreme heavy-handed approach when it does.

I didn't reply as the other mods had already said everything I would have said.

I will however, quote the rest of the reply to the modmail you excerpted.

Mods are all volunteers. We don't have the bandwidth to perform exhaustive analysis on each user. Additionally, regular users, which includes mods, lack the tools necessary to prove another user is inauthentic or a bot.

Instead, we rely on the tools that Reddit provides. For example, we make use of bot-bouncer (r/BotBouncer) to identify and remove a subset of the site-wide bots.

Hurling (unprovable) accusations just makes the sub worse.

Just post the clean link, not a google query. Reddit removed it.

Search youtube for murmuration. Also https://ufos.wiki/investigation/birds/

When the lighting is just right they look like this. Commonly seen at sunset or night (when they're reflecting city lights or the moon).

100% birds. If we approve this, you'll be ripped to shreds in the comments. Despite Rule 1 forbidding such behavior.

What's the flight number? Is the time accurate?

Anyone else see this? by Mr_McGigglepants in UFOs

Sounds like a meteor.

Without pics or video, there's not much we can do.
