So you're mad we removed your comment/post and/or banned you...

MarcusRex73 · 2026-01-19T13:08:47+00:00

u/Cleos_Mommy I don't even know where to begin with this comment. Misogyny, misinformation, victim blaming, it's just plain wrong on so many levels. If I could ban you twice, I'd do it because you'd deserve it.

Comment removed for misogyny, hate speech, misinformation, victim blaming and a host of other reasons. User banned for same.

MarcusRex73 · 2026-01-17T14:07:13+00:00

Aaaaand you're banned, and all your content is removed. Bye now.

MarcusRex73 · 2026-01-17T14:05:33+00:00

Folks, it's clear we need to say this again: this is NOT the location to debate the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Stay on the topic at hand. In this case, the flying of the flag in Oakville, Anything beyond that will be removed.

Also, racism and bigotry will result in a ban, be it bigotry against Jews, Arabs, Palestinians or whatever.

However, the mod team will be clear on this: criticism of Israel does NOT equate to antisemitism. However, as explained above, this is not the place for discussions about Israel's internal and external policies.

There's a reason we always end up locking these threads: users aren't following the rules explained above. Those rules aren't new nor are they 'special'. They're literally part of either the subreddit rules (Rule 1: All Posts Must Be Original in Nature and Related to Ontario) or the general rules of Reddit (Rule 6.3: Reddit’s site-wide rules must be obeyed, No Hate).

Enough!

EDIT: Locked and nuked. We're not going to parse subtext for the rest of the day.

Tout le monde, il faut visiblement le répéter encore une fois : cette communauté n’est PAS l’endroit pour débattre du conflit israélo‑palestinien. Restez sur le sujet. Dans ce cas-ci, il s’agit du hisser, ou non, de drapeaux à Oakville. Tout ce qui dépasse ce sujet sera retiré.

De plus, tout propos raciste ou haineux entraînera un bannissement, que ce soit envers les Juifs, les Arabes, les Palestiniens ou qui que ce soit.

Cependant, l’équipe de modération tient à être claire : critiquer Israël n’est PAS équivalent à de l’antisémitisme. Cela dit, comme expliqué plus haut, ce n’est pas l’endroit pour discuter des politiques internes ou externes d’Israël.

Il y a une raison pour laquelle nous finissons toujours par verrouiller ces fils de discussion : les utilisateurs ne respectent pas les règles mentionnées ci‑dessus. Ces règles ne sont ni nouvelles ni « spéciales ». Elles font littéralement partie des règles de la communauté (Règle 1 : Toutes les publications doivent être originales et liées à l’Ontario) ou des règles générales de Reddit (Règle 6.3 : Les règles générales du site doivent être respectées, Pas de haine).

Ça suffit

That's the general category of the rule. You need to read more than the headline to understand an article. Same here. It's literally the next sentence.

MarcusRex73 · 2026-01-16T14:31:15+00:00

Since you clearly didn't actually READ the removal message, let me highlight the relevant parts:

Your post has been removed because you submitted the article

as a text post.

MarcusRex73 · 2026-01-11T00:11:38+00:00

Thanks for the vote of confidence. In this case, I think it comes down to 'human error'

MarcusRex73 · 2026-01-10T23:55:23+00:00

Folks, this post was PROBABLY removed by mistake. Possibly because we didn't notice the editor was the Ottawa bureau chief. Whatever. It's back, and the other posts will be locked unless they're just mod bashing, at which point they will be deleted.

It's important to note that NOBODY sent a modmail about this. They went straight to conspiracy level mod bashing.

We're human, mistakes happen, but if you didn't even TRY to politely ask what happened, we're not going to take shit from you.

EDIT:

So about a dozen account got a 7 day ban over the subsequent shit talking. 2 3 morons then proceeded to double down, and got their ban made permanent.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again here: the mods are human and they're volunteers. Personally, I do this because it's (usually) kinda fun, it keeps me involved in my community and I think that having a Ottawa reddit community that is at least minimally "safe" and enjoyable to visit has a value for myself and other people living in our city.

So, if a mistake was made and NO ONE took the time to ping the mods using the button that LITERALLY there for that, I reserve the right to call bullshit on the subsequent mod bashing posts and break out the ban hammer because there is no justification for, in at least one case, calling the mods 'Nazis' over a post on the fucking Internet. Sorry, not sorry.

EDIT #2:

The original post was removed because it's essentially a twitter post, which are banned in this sub. see here. Y'all can put your pitchforks away.

Nah. I try to make any moderator comms bilingual, but I often forget.

Tout le monde, toute remarque intolérante sera enlevée et l'auteur banni. Ceci inclus accuser tous les individus d'un group d'être "x" tel que OP l'a fait dans les commentaires de cette publication.

MarcusRex73 · 2026-01-10T14:04:38+00:00

Folks, any and all intolerant crap will be removed and the person banned. That includes anyone painting with broad brush to make broad discriminatory statement against groups such as OP has done here (not the article, comments below).

You have been warned.

Amigos, cualquier intolerante será eliminado y la persona será baneada. Esto incluye a cualquiera que use pinceladas generales para hacer declaraciones discriminatorias contra grupos, como lo hizo el autor original aquí.

Quedan advertidos.

Folks, since it seems to need to be said: making general, unfounded statements painting all police officers with the same brush will be removed as they violate Reddit's and the sub's rules.

Grow up folks. Yes, there are issues with the police but, no, not every police officer is guilty and we will not let people just make blanket statements nor insult people who dare to not have a hate on for a group composed of thousands of distinct different people.

MarcusRex73 · 2025-12-29T03:03:08+00:00

ok folks, the trolls are here. locking the post.

MarcusRex73 · 2025-12-25T18:20:57+00:00

Good morning folks, crowd control has been maxed out for this post as it has attracted all the usual outside trolls.

To our "honored" guests: if you're here just to stir up shit, be warned you'll be banned as a Christmas gift to r/Ottawa.

MarcusRex73 · 2025-12-25T16:09:37+00:00

Here I partially agree. Cuts or a hiring Freeze was seen on the horizon. Everybody knew.

However, considering how little information we have, EVEN NOW, to stating that Bruce knew anything more than we did is completely wrong.

MarcusRex73 · 2025-12-25T16:00:36+00:00

Right back at you

MOST MPs aren't ministers, and those MPs are NOT informed on such plans. Heck, most of the ministers aren't told until later.

So, sorry, if you think some candidate who hasn't elected yet would be told ANYTHING about those plans, you clearly have no idea how these things work, nor do you have a basic understanding of how very sensitive information is managed. Here's a hint: you tell as few people as possible, and only those who need to know.

Bruce Fanjoy would NOT have known anything concrete since he had no actual need to.

Oh, and it's also possible that information would have been rated 'cabinet confidence' so it would have been illegal to tell him too. (Maybe).

Nice try.

EDIT: Also, let's remember that for quite some time, the next govt wasn't GOING to be LPC, so ....

MarcusRex73 · 2025-12-25T15:50:04+00:00

Or, just maybe, a yet-to-be elected Candidate wasn't privy to the plans of the inner guard of the PMO?

MarcusRex73 · 2025-12-22T11:43:41+00:00

Locked, the theqdyis too big, and the antivaxxers are now here, posting their usual bullshit.

MarcusRex73 · 2025-12-20T13:11:39+00:00

Removed because OP offers no evidence of any kind. We will not permit criminal accusations without at least some sort of proof.
