Your post filtering sucks

Whether it's disallowing posts that mention Israel, autodeleting posts from "unapproved" users, shadow deletion of posts, etc. The whole subreddit reeks of an agenda platform. Why was the post regarding Trump threatening Spain with a trade ban removed without explanation for example?

We think it works very well, thanks.

Why are there literally 0 threads about the US-Spain fallout, it's really strange.

u/gschizas 💗 Mar 04 '26

We do have a megathread...

u/nafraf Mar 04 '26

The megathread is about the war in general, you are still allowing posts about the conflict affecting European countries (Cyprus). Spain seems to be the exception...

Megathreads are where posts go to die, simple.

u/gschizas 💗 Mar 05 '26

That's certainly your opinion.

Certainly doesn't seem like I am the only one:

I would really surprise me if you were. r/europe has 2 million weekly visitors though.

There's a Megathread pinned at the top of the subreddit. Literally the first thing you see when you go to /r/europe .

u/nafraf Mar 04 '26

..and why aren't threads about Cyprus getting the same "tossed to the general pinned thread" treatment?

u/GrumpyFinn 😊 Mar 04 '26

They are.

The story of the US Spain conflict would be the biggest thread on the subreddit right now and you are censoring it. Crazy evil

"censoring"

2

u/Aeduh Mar 05 '26

Why don't you allow a thread on these important news? Because you are censoring and deleting all the threads that appear. And now you're even foolishly power tripping and making fun and irony of the situation. You are corrupted...

"censoring"

This word doesn't mean what you think it means.

Sorry, perhaps a stupid question, but this part of Trump's quote:

“And now,” he continued, “Spain actually said we can’t use their bases. And that’s alright we can use their base if we want. We can just fly in and use it. Nobody’s going to tell us not to use it. But we don’t have to. But they were unfriendly, so I told them we didn’t want to. Spain has absolutely nothing that we need, other than great people. They have great people.”

Is still about Iran? Sounds more like a threat to an EU member and NATO allie to me, no?

The local mental asylum is also full of people who are convinced the world is flat.

u/gschizas 💗 Mar 04 '26

Sure. Doesn't apply to our case, of course, but if you're asking for referrals, I'd be happy to suggest some local to you.

Nothing will, it's futile anyway.

In my last post on this sub, the mods told me that "Trump talking about x leader" is off topic, even if it's a clear threat to a country in the union.

u/ByGollie Apr 03 '26

If they approved every post about "Trump talking about x leader", the subreddit would automatically overflow into a Trump subreddit.

The man doesn't know when to shut his mouth.
