Yes, 'allowed.' My role here is to enforce rules decided on by the community. What word would you prefer? Are you really going to police my choice of words? Has everyone here lost their minds?

Your job is not to determine what "gets to stay" but rather weed out posts that A) don't cite sources and B) don't explain relevance.

My job is to decide what "gets to stay" based on whether it meets the rules, so what are you even saying? It seems you're stubbornly trying to avoid acknowledging that allowing users to repost removed submissions allows them to flout the rules. Maybe all this focus on my perfectly appropriate choice of words is actually a bit of projection, because you seem to have abandoned logic in order to posture for dominance.

I agree that it was a dick move of the user to throw you under the bus like that, but that isn't justification to pull the post.

Throw me under the bus? Again, I pulled the post because he re-linked the removed submission. Stop trying to make it something that it's not. If the community wants to allow users to link deleted submissions, it's fine with me, but it would need to be discussed in a sticky. I think even raising the question would be ridiculous, though, because if users can re-link deleted submissions on the main sub, the rules are nearly pointless. I would probably in fact resign as a mod if that were to be allowed. The shills and trolls would have a field day.

That is what posters have been instructed to do. Modify and repost. This was clearly a good faith effort on OPs part. He didn't post crazy NASA space alien shit so you can just stop using that as an excuse. If you can't tell the difference then you do not need to mod.

The focus is on your dictatorial ACTIONS as a mod. Its what you DO that is abusive. Your snarky language just adds insult to injury.

That is your specialty. Nobody but you is perfect. You do not humbly admit mistakes and correct your actions. You double down and make things worse.
